To BerberElla - misplaced anger

You have put your story out there for everyone to read and obviously it will draw comments and views and not always to your liking. You were brave enough to write your story but not brave enough to accept the disbelief because FGM is such a emotional and horrendous subject for any person. We ,in the West find it hard to accept that any person can mutilate our sisters in this way purely for a man's control over over a female.

Your anger is misdirected to the posters on this forum when it should be directed to those who abused you. Use your energy as a positive to save and protect other women and girls in your situation and not to berate those that are anonymous on this forum. It achieves nothing.

I offer you my most sincere sympathy for your situation and thank you for letting me know your story.
