The thing is, 20, 30, 40 years ago things were different. I knew I'd never be believed.... Now - I hope - things are different. I think that now there is more support around and things like childline here, teachers are more aware and are trained more about how to spot and help children. There are police campaigns, more people are speaking out and I hope that things are better for anyone who is having to deal with this sh(t.
Sissy you are so brave for speaking out.
Do you want me to add you to the specific "Abuse Survivors" group here? It's very private and I'm the only one who can add people to it...
