This was an especially difficult montage to create as it holds many images that are triggering for me. Be forewarned that survivors may be affected by the pictures used in this montage. Despite it's affect, I feel it is important to add these personal pictures and elements to allow the viewer into part of my world. I hope you can appreciate it and take something positive away from it's viewing.

I was abused.

My mum use to hit me.

My dad was the only one who stood up to her. But when I turned 9, he died. My mum then got worse. Paying men to rape me because it made her feel "good".

I found I dog, on the way home from school, that's when my life changed forever.

I sneaked him home, I talk to him all the time. I was bullied at school too and he was my only friend.

That dog, is the reason I'm alive today, he's the reason I phoned childline.

I'm 16 now and scarred for life, I owe him my life

@PureSkilled Thank you for your comment. You are not alone in your experience and I'm so sorry that you were abused by your mother. Have you spoken to anyone else about what happened to you? Have you been to therapy? It's so important that you seek help and gain support. We can't do it alone and you deserve to have a life free from suffering. I hope you will reach out and speak with someone who can help you locally. You deserve better. As for the dog, I can honestly say that I understand.

I am a victim of a false rape accusation, spent many years in jail and usually when i hear a woman scream rape it gets my back up and I immediately think shes lying. But thanks to postings such as this one I'm realizing that not all woman lie. This has changed my perspective on many things. I cant thank you enough for ur this vid. You have my full respect.

Serious question, if you are a partner of someone who has been abused. What is the best way to go about having a sexual connection. When the parther who has been abused has little to no interest in sex.

I just wish i could be fearless and have my life back without being so scared in this skin. Its been 2 to 3 years now me being scared i want my life back and my eyes back i know their pretty but i cant see that right now one day tho

Hi , you are not alone, i was sexual abused too by a neighbor when i was 7 yrs, the worst part of all this is my family didnt notice anything, and instead of give me support and care they give me emotional abuse too, then since the age of 12 my life have been , low self steem , depression , zero relationships,suicidal toughts . The only refugge i have learn to use since then are alcohol and sex .

I hope that braking our silence finally the whole world seen the horror of all this.
