Wow, after reading it so far (I have to admit, I kinda cut some corners and read this one, but still have to read 3 of the former) I realized that we have a lot more in common than just being Dutch and both on Steemit (and both knowing the living legend @scan0017). I admire your strength and am glad that you were able to put your past behind you and moved on to a better life. Thank you for sharing what has to be a tough story to tell. Respect!
