It is my belief that no matter what type of abuse occurs, it alters the child's life in some way and like you said, often times the degree of the effects come to light in adulthood. I encourage everyone to talk about the "elephant in the room"! Silence and secrecy are abusers best friends. We need to be the voice for children until they are able to find their own.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272228697227164450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666431827221847316.post-34173019653446656212013-01-28T20:01:35.503-08:002013-01-28T20:01:35.503-08:00I just wrote a long, heartfelt comment and it didn...I just wrote a long, heartfelt comment and it didn't upload and disappeared. Frustrating!<br /><br />I wanted to say, in short, Kudos for bringing light to this topic. I have 3 survivors of abuse in my family and none of them felt that they could say a word about it when they were children. The memories were repressed and the horrors buried until they were adults. When I hear them talk now, when there is no ability to "triumph" over their abusers, I cry for their loss of innocence, their loss of a childhood. The fact that they, and others, receive so little validation in society makes me want to scream from the rooftop about the "elephant in the room." <br /><br />Thank you for being able to put forth this book with the compassion you have. It is a very good thing, I think. For, the more light we shine on the situation of abuse(sexual and non) in childhood, the fewer places the perpetrators will have to hide!R Haysnoreply@blogger.com
