About This Site
This website was created by the children of Andy Long, owner of The Shutter Guy in Summerville, SC. Our goal is to share the truth about what happened inside our home, truth that has been hidden behind the smiling business image of Andy the Shutter Guy for far too long.
For decades, Andy Long has built his public identity as a devoted father and small business owner. Many in the community know him through his company, Shutter Guy Summerville SC, which installs blinds, shutters, and window treatments across the Lowcountry.
But behind that professional reputation is a private history of emotional manipulation, physical abuse, and long-term psychological harm directed at our mother. A truth we lived, but were forced to bury for years.
Why We’re Speaking Out
We are no longer willing to remain silent.
We are no longer protecting a lie.
Our mother’s suffering was real. The abuse she endured took place behind closed doors, hidden from customers, neighbors, and extended family. The damage it caused nearly destroyed her life and it deeply affected ours as children.
