I know how you feel! I was sexually abused by my step father. My mother was never around so I felt really upset and alone. I contemplated suicide and began self harming. But things have been getting better for me in the past few years. I'm in a good school, I'm getting decent grades, I have amazing friends and a wonderful boyfriend. Thing aren't great with my mother but I'm working on it. Just wanted to say well done for surviving the abuse. It is possible to come out of it all 'normal' but it is rare. It's great to know you have let go of the past and you are now concentrating on the future.I wish you all the luck in the world with your future!X
