[Warning: This may be especially triggering to those who have experienced sexual assault/abuse or to those who have loved ones experience trauma.] Ever read the news about a child having been sexually assaulted/abused and thought, "That's never going to happen to my child(ren)!" How can you be so certain? Do you plan on never letting your child out of your sight? Or what about hearing stories of adults who spoke about having been sexually assaulted as a child/teen? Abuse is one of those topics that is uncomfortable for many to even think, much less talk, about. Which means discussions about sexual abuse, especially regarding children, is that much more difficult to bring up. But we must! Why?

Have you ever felt down or seen someone else feel down? Thinking back, what did people say to you, or what did you say to them? |
