Fact meets fiction in this supernatural tale

On my 1st draft of my novel -  Writen as a cathartic experience - a way to work through my past abuse by a close family member. it was far too close a home subject to write in a 'real' style non fiction. It quickly evolved into a supernatural tale of a sensitive youth who has visons. Here the metophore of a demon is actualy an abuser, a real life monster, and as we know, those are the most scary. I am currently working through a case against the family member while writing the novel. This is a way to retieve at least some control, even if it is through this fantasy world. It is intercut with lighter moments of more likeable supernatural creatures.
