Autorenporträt
Almost 60 years after the abuse began, Marie Hargreaves has finally found the courage and strength to speak out about her ordeal. Marie, now 65, says: "I cannot in all truth say that this ordeal has not, at times, dominated and defined me. I carried this heavy weight around for 60 years and it almost dragged me under. Now, by speaking out, I feel that my burden is lifting at last. The shame is no longer mine."
