You are one of the most well-spoken survivors that I have read & I've read a TON trying to educate myself on the subject of CSA & CSRA. <br /><br />Don't listen to those who would try to discourage you. Don't even give them an ear. Your work is good & valuable. Please...be encouraged. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989122368407971253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553737404201765566.post-45989972050293608032013-04-14T12:15:16.625+01:002013-04-14T12:15:16.625+01:00Keep doing what you are doing, it takes courage an...Keep doing what you are doing, it takes courage and strength to have a voice that our predators tried to silence.

Many of us are fighting for sex...YOu are not alone! Many of us are fighting for sexual abuse prevention education. Sometimes it just feels like you are the only one because of the community's attitude towards this subject. I call it the head-in-the-sand syndrome! THis kind of syndrome is actually putting kids at risk. Time for parents to put their own fears aside so their kids do not continue to be in danger. We now have Erin Merryn as a Glamour Women of the Year 2012. This is a massive step forward that such a mainstream popular magazine would bestow this honour. We are all getting there!

I have a blog that supports signing petitions in the fight against child abuse, animal torture and cruelty, world hunger etc. I try so hard to get the attention of people I know by sharing with them and asking that they please sign a petition or support my blog or whatever. Very rarely do they even respond to emails, Facebook msgs or posts. Anyone who is on board with my and the things I'm fighting for are just people I've met online. Maybe three people I know have bothered to show an interest. <br />It has occurred to me that they are all just afraid. Afraid of facing the truth about how bad it is because that would bring with it the responsibility to take action.<br />Pure and simple. Fear and lack of motivation. All though I blog about a variety of causes, I can relate because I am a victim of child abuse as well. I would also like to say that growing up, most of my friends and family were victims of sexual abuse...not all rape, but still in some form or another, so it is extremely common and I as a mother have talked to my kids their whole lives about this subject and tried to educate them on the importance to speak out. I did this out of the fear and knowledge of knowing how common it is and even though I have closure and feel I'm past it, I still dont trust anyone. I was taught that as a child. It doesnt matter and in most cases, the abuser is very close to home.<br />I have added this post to my blog, Speak with a loud voice, for those in Silent suffering and I am now a follower.<br />I applaud you for your courage! You are a saint!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302491211678499090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553737404201765566.post-4998996315306906322012-05-17T14:52:37.213+01:002012-05-17T14:52:37.213+01:00I personally think many people who were abused don...I personally think many people who were abused don't talk about it. Period. If asked, I would say no. It's painful, why would I expose that raw, wounded part of me kwim? Also, some simply don't remember it. I was probably 34 years old when the ugly awful memories came flooding over me. Things I wish I didn't remember. So to say abuse didn't happen in my school is ignorant, and to say the gays were the pedophiles is also ignorant. I am sure there are pedophiles of all race, gender, and yes, sexual orientation. keep up the good work, you are causing awarenessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553737404201765566.post-73229688023392434932012-05-15T23:34:12.726+01:002012-05-15T23:34:12.726+01:00Keep at it - what you are doing by speaking out is...Keep at it - what you are doing by speaking out is so helpful to others out there going through the same thing! I know it's frustrating when you come across such insensitive, ignorant people who are completely void of compassion for others. Your voice is important in drowning out these individuals, and it provides a voice for all of the other survivors out there who have yet to find their voice. You're doing a great thing.Worth-Waiting-Forhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00195459705161415635noreply@blogger.com
