So then I started having panic attacks and anxiety. I was diagnosed with delayed onset PTSD. And so then I went on a long struggle to try to recover.
Yeah, it's this unsettling feeling when there's big pieces that are missing. You just feel like you need to know, you need to understand why this happened, what happened, and what other people who were around at the time thought about. And, you know, in terms of trying to find his other victim, I know he has at least one.
I feel she's the only person in the world who can understand what I went through and she happened after me. And so I really want to, to apologize to her. I know what happened was not my fault, but I just feel that's something I want to do to have closure.
Yeah. And he also told me himself that he was punched in the face by the father of another victim. But reflecting back on it, I wonder if it really did happen. And I believed it at the time, which seems ridiculous. But, you know.
Yeah, I think it may have happened. I mean, it makes sense now to me that it was a poem, that it did happen. And that's why he was, he changed schools.
I mean, in terms of my personal experience, yes, that's kind of encapsulates it. I want to know.
I've done a lot of reading. I think I've read all the legislation in every province. Plus, I've spoken to experts.
what other people knew at the time, you know, but going forward now to the present, it's really important to me to understand what, what's happening now and why this keeps happening. The system is very immature even today. And so that, that bothers me a lot.
Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Sounds good.
Bye-bye.
Good. Yeah, it's kind of... For me, going back into the environment is a bit triggering.
It's good to get it done and get it over with. It's really weird from a time frame, because for most of my life, when I wasn't dealing with it, I felt like this... happened like 100 years ago but now that I'm into it it feels like it was literally yesterday. Yeah it's kind of a strange feeling. It's good because I'm finally dealing with it because I didn't process it for 40 years.
I still feel like I'm that 15 year old girl and so I'm trying to reconcile those things.
One of the tipping points for me coming forward, I think I told you this, was when I went to one of my daughter's band practices and I was setting up chairs. I was a stagehand for a grade 9, 10 band when I was in grade 10 when he started to abuse me. And I just, like, I couldn't. I just suddenly realized, like, really, it was so stark.
These little girls I saw them as, you know, I was a woman in my 50s at that time and I just couldn't understand anything. how he could not see us as children.
Well, that took time because I think part of when predators groom children, they groom you to be silent. And I think one of the main mechanisms is to make you feel ashamed of it. And I felt very ashamed my whole life.
I think it's always Eastern High School of Commerce, but everyone just called it Eastern Commerce. Flips to the band section. Yeah, there he is right there. He enjoys all kinds of sports and he likes jazz music. Mr. Walker also plays the trombone in the Royal Regiment band. He feels a student's best qualities are warmth and friendliness.
This is where I first found the date for the Belleville trip, the one that I was sexually assaulted on. So there he is with a jazz band, so I'm not in this picture. Now where's Christine? There's Christine.
The women hug, then discreetly check each other out.
No, I didn't physically resist, but I didn't... It wasn't consensual, but you knew it was wrong. No, I knew it was wrong, and he was my teacher, and so I did what he asked me to do.
