There is a news story on right now about a father in Austria who not only fathered 6 children with his own daughter, but kept her and 3 of those kids in a secret basement room for 2 decades. They were just found. His wife claims she never knew what was going on.

I was kept in my family's basement too, made to use a chamberpot instead of using the bathroom like my parents, and am a survivor or incest by both parents. My parents made me wear sexy clothes as a child. I am not going to watch the news for a week until that story is gone. I am getting very depressed, physically sick and having a really bad time right now.

Husband knows, but he does not know what to say or do; he just changes the subject. I am going to have to take something strong to put me to sleep to prevent nightmares. I am shaking and crying.

Why are people so cruel to each other? What did the daughter do all those years to survive? My T today asked me how I survived. I have no idea.
