What is the most important thing you want other survivors to know? 

Life is difficult but you can make it. Family will be family and in some cases they won't be there for you. There are no two situations the same. Everyone handles each trauma differently. Each person is unique and so are you. Anger is real and you have a right to be angry. You never asked for this. You never wanted it. Find a place in life where you can find peace. Don't hurt yourself or anyone else. Life is precious make the most of it. Put value in yourself. Believe in God; He didn't do this to you. Get help and talk to someone. Find a friend who you can talk to — someone who won't judge you but who will love you unconditionally with a warm heart.
