Susan MacRae wants to talk about what happened to her, but she can’t.
As a young girl, MacRae signed a non-disclosure agreement that prohibits her from discussing sexual abuse she suffered, even with family members or therapists.
In 2018, a judge upheld that NDA even though the other party — her father — was dead. MacRae, a Vancouver writer, says it changed her life.
“As a poet, you deal a lot with silences. And if you have a forced silence in any part of your life, that can really taint your sense of self,” she said. “It really poisons it.”
