Catherine’s father began sexually abusing her when she was three. The abuse quickly escalated, and he would often ritually abuse her alongside other men – family friends, business colleagues and other relatives. This continued well into her teen years, finally ending when her father remarried and Catherine moved away to attend college. Catherine began the healing process in her early twenties. Today she is happily married and looking forward to starting her own family.
