Alma Kritzinger

I am a survivor of sexual abuse; when I was growing up, I was repeatedly sexually abused and once raped by my brother.

Unfortunately, they were not at all supportive. I tried to seek legal recourse from my brother’s harassment, but my parents went as far as trying to get a court order to stop me from talking about the abuse I had suffered at the hands of my brother.
