ISN'T IS SAD?

5/27/2016

Its it sad that we focus on telling children to speak up about child sexual abuse but then we have to sit back and realise that so many of the adults whom they unfortunately disclose too let them down by doing nothing.

Yes, I mean NOTHING.

I know I'm not alone, during my mission I have come across so many amazing people yet I have also had to come by so many people who think that child sexual abuse or sexual assault is simply NOTHING.

I know I'm not alone, During my life I encountered many adults whom had the power to stop the sexual abuse, my sexual abuse but they simply choose NOT TOO.

I know I'm not alone..

Whilst we prepare more and more to tell children to SPEAK UP, Its easy to see why so many keep quiet, blame themselves and fall into a dark path. This mission is BIGGER than just focusing on the children, we must change the minds of adults whom think sexual abuse is not a big deal and that is another mission on its own.

Child Sexual Abuse Prevention is KEY

Thank You to all the amazing survivors and supporters on our team.

i want to help in anyway i can,my number one purpose is to protect children from paedophiles,i have worked in Juvenile Justice and have heard hideous stories,the silence cannot go on,and paedophiles are getting sneakier because they know people are on to them,i have not been molested but feel i know your pain through their stories and yours,i cannot accept people stand by and let this happen,they in my book are just as guilty,i see your strength even after all you have been through,you are not alone

I agree totally. I went to my Sisters hen night and one of our old school friends was talking about Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris and she was saying what a lot of rubbish it was - Quote "Didn't we all get felt up at some point?". I felt sick. I'm afraid I didn't respond as i felt so angry. And it wasn't the right time or place. Having lived with PTSD has opened my eyes. This person had no empathy at all.

When my younger sister was raped 42 years ago, she did go to the police. She was 16. The rapist was caught and convicted. To all the authorities that was that. Case closed and problem solved. Back then there was no thought of aftercare. Throughout the rest of her life, my sister battled with depression. Most of her problems were thought to be the result of the chemotherapy's affect on her brain tissue. Even in this age of medical breakthroughs, it's hard for doctors to find underlying causes. The glossed over the rape and only looked for chemical causes.
She lost her battle with depression just last December.
I truly believe that when we find survivors of sexual abuse, part of their emergency care should be counseling. Most physical damage will heal. Psychological injuries can fester for years. We need to restore their sense of self worth immediately.

I am a male survivor of child abuse and in later years male rape. I had nowhere to go and nobody to listen to me.
This was in the Eighties and after many years of mental trauma i finally made it.
If we had this kind of openness back then it would have been a lot better.
Only forwards and take it one day at a time.
Kudos to Isabelle

I have read all the blogs. And its like -yeah i know - I know. I know how you feel. But I do not know what it is like to have this demon called ptsd and be a relative of it.
But its not just about the event - its about the detritus and sadness we live with every day. The impact it has had on our family but mostly ourselves. My sister knows -lest she gets it - she doesn't want to talk about it but there is relief in her attitude. My brother is so angry about it - it seems his only solace is to blame me, like it didn't happen and i am a liar. I have spoken of this before.
But my Mum is terminally ill and she shut down all communication except email. She answers once a week. I send it to my brother and sister and my best friend. My friend answers me if it is me being a bit out of control. My sister tries at least. My brother never answers me. But he txt me at 4 am to tell me he was engaged. One way always
Yes I left the Uk 22 years ago but it wasn't personal to them. But I have no - nothing anymore from them.
Was it me -are they so disgusted with me? why has my life been reduced to basic platitudes. Why have we never been able to talk about it. Well maybe for my dear parent it was too awful. My sister it was too awful. To my brother well there are no words.
This is part of my isolation. My isolation from a decent relationship from my family as it happened there. They were there . I chose not to tell them then. I have some ideas why but we don't talk about it. So it becomes further and further away from us. As I am here and they are there. There is a wall between us.
But I have created my own wall in life. No-ones fault I am just afraid of judgement. I am sick and tired of it actually. I know I am strong but people are so judgemental they assume so much before I have even proved myself. Like witches casting a spell.
Well I say fucccccck them - you narrow minded demons.
