How could we think that so many of these victims at such a young age would even think to escape??? Not only did you provide the Answer, you also let us know without a doubt that such situations are not without hope. Thank God you somehow over the YEARS slowly and painfully moved towards freedom. For those who have not faced such a nightmare, it is to be alert and be ready to help as one is able should there be a possibility of such abuse. Also, never too late for a new life: got a seventy plus year old woman out of the hell she suffered from beatings for decades. Wealthy family, impeccable in appearance, all of that and i never woulda guessed. All i did was get her away from the house, others helped with the rebuild of her life. IT IS NEVER TOO LATE! I know that what you have shared will give someone hope. What you shared will certainly bring life. ThanQ!!
