I know it's too difficult in the moment, and too difficult when we are part of the madness, but with time and distance I actually feel sorry for the girls that come after. They are damaged, too, if they allow themselves to be treated so poorly. I sometimes wonder what hell they have seen to believe themselves to be of such little worth. I get sad thinking about it, and how close I was to not escaping that same self-loathing.
I'm glad you're brave enough to demand a better future for yourself.
