Wij Waren, Ik Ben. Weg Uit Ruinerwold

On Sunday, October 13, 2019, I left the farm where I was trapped for years and entered a cafe in Ruinerwold. At that moment, I finally separated myself from the world of the faith of my father, who had me in his power for twenty-five years.

In this book I describe my life. My father’s beliefs and beliefs were my reality: I didn’t go to school, I didn’t even exist to the outside world, and I had no friends. There were only the ghosts that wandered around us and talked to. Prayer was our only salvation, God was always in my mind.

Then the first cracks in my faith appear, and they gradually increased. The internet is the key to my development. I look for a way to freedom beyond guilt, fear, sadness, insecurity. But when my mind is finally free, I feel more trapped than ever. I want to get out of the farm where I live hidden from the outside world with my family. But who is going to help me?
