My father's death is my "hope".
A comic essay by an author who was abused growing up.

Violence, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and denial of personality.
--This is what my father did to me. That was my daily life.

As a child, I didn't have the money to leave home or the physical strength to stand up to him.

I was born to an abusive parent and there was nothing I could do but endure it - I had no choice.
