"The reason I came forth is because I have daughters. It would hurt me to know that they would be involved with a man who was carrying a secret like I was.

I've been hurt. I've been taken advantage of.' There's no way they can be whole. Once they're able to do that, they can save a bloodline.
I'm hoping that, by doing this, I can save somebody's daughter from having a lot of pain with dealing with a man, and [for] me, saving my own daughters dealing with their pain and their angst about it."
