Det her er min fortælling om, hvordan jeg har udviklet mig, og hvordan jeg er vokset efter mine traumatiserende oplevelser. Som 12-årig udsatte min far mig for incest. Det har medført senfølger såsom angst og posttraumatisk stress. Jeg fortæller om ensomheden og forkerthedsfølelsen. Hvordan det er at bryde tabuet om at være udsat for incest. Jeg fortæller om min historie, om at udvikle mig fra at være offer og leve i offermentalitet til i dag at være en fighter med et stort F. Og meget, meget mere. Jeg har skrevet min bog til andre ofre, så de kan se, at det er muligt at udvikle sig i en positiv retning og leve et almindeligt liv trods en tung bagage. Min bog er også til pårørende, så de har mulighed for bedre at forstå. Og til fagpersoner eller andre interesserede, som ønsker mere viden om at leve med psykiske udfordringer og overleve overgreb. Uddrag af bogenDa dagen kom, var jeg fyldt med anspændthed. Jeg var nervøs. Ondt i maven. Anspændt helt ned til mine tæer og op igen. Onde sommerfugle i min mave. De rumsterede. Det har de gjort, lige siden han forgreb sig på mig. Det gør de stadig, når jeg har angst. Når jeg er bange. Når noget, jeg frygter, skal ske. Når jeg skal være midtpunktet. Når jeg får opmærksomhed. Det var første gang, at jeg skulle se ham, efter at han var blevet anholdt. Jeg havde næsten glemt, hvordan han så ud. Hvordan hans stemme lød. Om forfatteren Emilie Staach Hedemand (f. 1997) læser til socialrådgiver. Som 12-årig blev hun udsat for incest, og i slutningen af sin HF besluttede hun sig for at fortælle sin historie for at hjælpe andre ofre og oplyse pårørende.

Da Nana som 17-årig flytter hjemmefra, længes hun stærkt efter løsrivelse fra sin psykisk syge mor, som hun og søsteren har boet alene med i årevis. Hun hungrer efter stabilitet og ro, men træder i stedet ud i flere år med bulimi, OCD og svære depressioner. - Er du sur? bliver hun spurgt af folk omkring sig, når hun med en hård og vred skal forsøger at holde sammen på sit krakelerede indre. Nej, Nana er ikke sur på nogen. Vreden er et skjold i en uregerlig tilværelse, hvor hun mistrives og er usikker og ulykkelig. Bange for at være ved at gentage historien. Er hun simpelthen skizofren som sin mor?“Er du sur?” er en dramatisk og hjerteskærende, men også uhøjtidelig fortælling om at komme igennem en turbulent barndom. Det er en fortælling om at vokse op med en psykisk syg mor og en far, der er alkoholiker. Om at havne i en problematisk og depressiv ungdom uden identitet eller selvværd. Midt i alvoren er historien også livsbekræftende, hvor den beskriver morens kærlige og muntre sider eller farens til tider komiske optrin. Bogen er et vigtigt vidnesbyrd om, at det kan lade sig gøre at skrive sin egen historie om. At det kan betale sig at tage imod hjælp og blive ved med at kæmpe. Mange små fremskridt bringer efterhånden Nana den rigtige vej. Selvom hendes psykiske bagage indimellem føles tung, lever hun i dag langt det meste af tiden et godt liv.

En dør, der er forseglet og aldrig forsøgt åbnet, lirkes med største forsigtighed på klem.

Tilbage er et liv i skyggen med tæsk og overfald. Lys, kærlighed og venner der aldrig svigter siver også ud af den lille sprække, men er det sandt, at kærlighed kan overvinde alt?
