My heart goes out to you, Pam. (((Safe Hugs)))

It is so difficult to feel safe when your very own family causes or allows the abuse. I am so glad you found the path to begin healing.

Verbal sexual abuse is just as hurtful as physical and verbal sexual abuse in the workplace is rampant. No type of workplace is exempt from this. I believed I would be safe working in the legal field, but no it still happens.

It started when I was 7. I was abused by several family members for years. I told no one. Who would believe me?? As an adult I hid by gaining weight and having a very sarcastic mouth. I do not trust easily and until the past few years, I never truly felt safe.

I learned through my faith to forgive those who hurt me. By forgiving my abusers I began to heal.

Some of my
I hid by gaining weight and being sarcastic. I do not trust easily.

I wonder…their Dads, Uncles, Scout leaders, churchmen, older men in the neighborhood? What inner wounds do they also carry, along with shame ? It is that thought that helped me to be able to forgive them. I have never spoken to them, but do show my forgiveness. They were children themselves!

This unspoken crime against children and women is all pervasive I believe. SO many more will not sign on, but are still suffering. And perpetrators still hiding and denying, and being supported while doing so. I’ve seen some posts/memes that aggressively cry “I could care less what any celebrity says!” HIgh time the celebrities spoke out–they can now literally afford to. Most of us cannot. I thank them for speaking up for us.

It’s amazing the stuff we live through and still come out functional. My heart hurts for you at the double impact…the abuse and the turning away of your mother. ?
