This was such an emotional read for me as an outsider, it had me in tears. I can only imagine what it must've been like for you. It takes tremendous courage to be so raw and honest, and I'm glad you shared your scar story here with us. You're an amazing person to not be hateful or feel spite, but forgive and move on with your life. I'm happy you and your brother finally found solace in a foster family and later with your own parents. It's important to voice thoughts on issues like this, and I hope that anyone facing similar issues can find inspiration in your story. Much love, and hugs and here's wishing you a wonderful and happy 2018.
