I seem to be doing this alot lately, but if you've not already read it can I recommend this post by MsO entitled the secret. It's a courageous post about her experiences of sexual abuse as a child which confirms many of the issues raised in the comments here.
The more we speak out, the less the power secrets can hold.
It's so true what you said. The more we speak, the less power secrets can hold. I read MsO's post, and left her a comment. I understand the anxiety and courage that goes into make a post as such. I have also be abused as a child and then later date raped and assaulted as a teen. Its taken many years to come to terms with some stuff, and others I havent had the courage yet to face it. Someday I will.
