“I survived years of abuse and trauma, living in a state of confusion he created over and over until I finally woke up.

In Bruce County, victims like me are punished for finally reacting, while predators stay hidden and protected by a system that blames and retraumatizes survivors. But the truth will come out. It always does.”
