I’ve heard of two attempted suicides of male survivors in
the past six months. One was successful. One was not.

I grieved for the one. I gave resources to the other and
prayed, no begged, for his healing to begin.
It is an often heard comment within the community of those
who study sexual abuse that “Males don’t tell.” It is understood that it is
only through the telling that healing can begin.
That is why I pray, no I beg parents, grandparents, and
trusted caregivers to begin the conversation regarding sexual abuse with the
children they love.
Because maybe males will tell, if we only ask.

When I was 18 in a support group of adult sexual abuse survivors..there were an equal number of men and women. Sometimes its hard for people to see its not a gender discriminate.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. And it's so sad.
