This is how PITT parents feel, all of us, my daughter a very similar story and she is 31 now, bearded and breastless. The pain is crushing, I will say that you can survive this pain, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time and the pain does lessen to a degree. Help other people in your life around you in whatever small ways you can. My wife and I adopted a beautiful little girl from DFCS in our state as we have been foster parents for a decade now, this little girl no one wanted, so we kept her and she is now my youngest daughter at 3 years old. Don't be afraid to tell your story because in our weakest moments, in our weakest times, when we tell the truth, we are at our strongest. My wife and I had a wedding to go to last weekend, we have been to many over the years, they were absolutely devasting for me in the beginning knowing I will never walk my oldest daughter down the aisle and give her away, I will never grandparent her biological children. The horror this has caused is uncountable, all our friends know what happened, all her old friends know what happened, most of them egged her on including their parents, no one will mention this horror, how or why would they? Maybe a muttered question once a year from a close friend or family member of "how is your oldest daughter?" It is crushing. Remember that we see people everyday around us overcome serious issues with health, loved ones, accidents, and survive and thrive, we all will do the same!

Stay the course, speak Truth with a great deal of Love and Compassion. Forgive everyone who has wronged you or your family, vengeance belongs to another and He will deal with them appropriately, our society is also coming around to see the Truth, those who did this will face consequences.
