Horrors of the Mind
This news story broke today - a woman in Austria who was kept locked in a basement by her father for 24 years. If that was not bad enough, her father raped and abused her and she gave birth to 7 children, 6 of whom are still alive. The horrors go on, three of those kids were “adopted” by the father who told his wife that the daughter abandoned them on the doorstep. The other three kids (now aged 19,18 and 5) were kept locked in the basement with their mother. These kids have never seen sunshine nor have they received any education.
Imagine the life of that poor girl being subjected to those horrors for so long and her kids who have spent their entire lives in only a handful of rooms locked away from the rest of the world. It is more than I can truly comprehend. How are those kids going to adjust to the outside world? They will never be normal and it is doubtful they will ever gain employment. Imagine being that man’s wife not knowing that your daughter had not run away but was locked up under your floorboards raising three kids as you raised the other three who you thought she had abandoned. That would seriously fuck with your mind. You would never be the same after discovering that horrible secret.
