Hi there,
A brief intro to me. I am aged 68 today and as my handle suggests I travel around this huge country.
61 yrs ago in Malta, my mother disappeared suddenly. Two weeks later my father told myself & 2 sisters, mum was dead. We had 3 days to "deal with it" then we shall never speak of her again.
This was bad enough. But a few months after this, I was in an old Knights of St John's fortress ( there were many from the crusades and defending the island from the Ottoman Empire) I was caught by the watchman, dragged to a room deep in the bowels of the fort, & there he assaulted me.
That's was the start of 8 yrs of hell, and a lifetime of unhappiness, loneliness, fear, failed relationships, broken family ties, alcoholism shame. But an iron will to forge on through.
Today I am relatively happy, but still plagued with depression and sexual issues. I pride myself in never having touched a child, or sexually abused another person since I got out of school at 16.
I shall start to post my story, which by definition is long. But for now. This is me, glad to be here.
