That is a powerful story. I cannot imagine going there. You are brave. Again, something that I will never understand from humans. Being able to show so much cruelty. It’s revolting.

Hope you feel better after this horrific experience. Bravo and thanks for sharing the truth.

When abnormal things are labeled as ‘tradition’ they become protected by the system. Yes, i needed some time to feel better.
