Karen,
What happened when you were little was NOT YOUR FAULT. You didn't do anything wrong. No child could possibly do anything that would mean that it would be appropriate for an adult to act like your father acted. You do not need to feel ashamed - because YOU did nothing to be ashamed of.
Your father did wrong things. HE should be ashamed - and I guess you can be ashamed OF him.
But you are NOT a bad person because HE did something wrong. You are a GOOD person who had bad things done TO you.
I wouldn't think of you as "the girl..." I would think of you as "The brave girl who is moving on with her life".
IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT
