If you try to fight against it these sick s.o.b's will threaten you or your family. In some cases the mind will blot things out as a protective tool. The key is to always say that you will not continue to be a victim and it will not be a key to who you are as a person. It is not easy.

My heart breaks for the victims. They probably thought they were hiding one incident, their own, only to discover there's been many, too many victims. Then the guilt begins all over again. So sad!

Even just in our post today I thought it was normal that moms sent you away with bleeding concussions. Sadly, sex abuse probably isn't much different if the abuser frames it correctly. Adults know everything and you're supposed to listen to them.<br /><br />On a brighter note, I did really enjoy that Mongolian beef. And I'm intrigued by today's recipe.

While I wasn't sexually abused by a teacher, one of them did kiss me on the lips. He was the high school radio station manager and in his 50s. I was confused and terrified, so I kept my distance and made sure I was never alone w/ him. I didn't tell my parents b/c they wouldn't have believed me, they definitely would've blamed me and they would have forced me to leave the radio station which was my life. When I was a freshman in college my mom told me that he'd been fired due to a scandal of him being inappropriate with a student. That's when I finally confessed what he'd done to me.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-64993975239557552852015-08-31T06:56:12.064-04:002015-08-31T06:56:12.064-04:00One of the things I was told to do when I was rais...One of the things I was told to do when I was raising my three sons was to always take them into the rest room with me and not let them go into the men's room alone.
