I pray to the Deity, Cindi, that this modern day Josef Mengele is no longer "practicing" his vile "treatments. Did this monster have a name for the things he was doing to you? I'm sure he had a "theory" that he was trying to prove. And he punished you because you wouldn't fit his ideas. I read this installment early this morning. I've been too upset to respond until now.
When I was writing an autobiography at the request of my therapist I was amazed at the pain that certain memories carried along with them and how potent the pain still was, even more than 30 years later, though they seem a ghost of a sensation beside what you have had to live with. This makes me truly appreciate the work that you had to do to publish this horrific account. That you have been able to overcome these experiences, which I think would have turned a lesser human being into psychosis or worse, is a true testament to your strength and humanity. Thank you so much for sharing this.
