The author and lecturer Monica Ek describes her life as if she has lived through hell. Already when she was five years old, the sexual abuse began. The perpetrator was an elderly relative, and the abuse became the starting point for a life marked by darkness, abuse and mental illness.
– I have been deprived almost my whole life, says Monica Ek in Nyhetsmorgon.
– And I thought everything was my fault.
At age 65, however, something happened. Monica decided to use her dark experiences to strengthen others, and today she says she feels better than ever.
– We must remove the shame and guilt of those who have been exposed, she says.
