I'm Still Standing: Through Strength and Courage

By Raewyn Inder

Being a teenager can be really difficult at the best of times. All Raewyn wanted to do was eat and sleep. Everything seemed to irritate her and she felt completely alone. Now grown up, she can look back at those years. The downward spiral had started with the death of her grandfather when she was twelve years old. Around him, she had felt safe, was safe. Now without her safety net, Raewyn began to unravel the mystery to her insecurities and depression. Dreams that haunted her revealed deep memories of a family member sexually abusing her. Although sharing the painful past with her parents, it is only at seventeen that she begins the journey to recovery by making a formal complaint to the police. This is a true story of standing tall in the face of betrayal, disbelief and self-realisation.

Raewyn Inder lives in New Zealand. "I wanted to be able to reach out to young people who may only just be starting the process of healing from sexual abuse."
