"Dealing with shame and anger has been a big part of my recovery," he wrote. "I felt ashamed for causing pain to people when I told my story. I felt shame that I survived and my friend (Nick Corwin) didn't. I felt ashamed for being different. I felt ashamed for the idea that people in the community would ask my siblings, 'How's Peter doing? No, how is he really doing?' like I should be messed up. It made me angry that I was expected to have problems because of what someone did to me."
