It's confusing to a child when something trautmatic happens to them, and their mother or father (or both) becomes angry. Recently I learned that this is most likely becuase they do not know how to react: anger feels better than despair or helplessness. Few things can feel more devastating and like you are a failure than not being able to protect a loved one from something horrible. They were really angry at themselves. Namaste
I had EXACTLY the same experience. Raped as a child,then again as an adult.I ate, slept
lived with nothing but pain and shame for over 40 years because of something that wasn't my fault.Even worse, when I was 11 I told my mom about what happened when I was 8. Just a lost scared kid. Instead of taking me to the Dr.s or doing ANYTHING she got MAD. It only made me feel even guiltier. During my life when I brought it up she would say " Just get over it," 3 months ago Gary C. helped me...FREEDOM

I HAVE A QUESTION !!!
Sexual abuse affects not only the victim but also her loved ones. Your husband and your children are also dealing with it.
Many women who were sexually abused choose to be single because they don't want to burden other people with their trauma.
How are your husband and children dealing with it? Do they talk about it?

I find this video way too quiet. I need louder ones to hear properly. My audio controls are all on max and I can barely hear. very moving otherwise.
