Meet Donna Bulatowicz - Part 2
Teacher. Writer. Survivor.
As a young girl, Donna was abused by another girl for several years, and then by a teacher when she was 9.
In this 2nd part, Donna shares what helped her recovery and healing: Physically moving away from the area, and becoming a teacher, using writing, were part of it.
She recognises that becoming the adult she most needed when she was a child, was a big healing factor for her. Her advice to survivors. Believe yourself
