Healing for me means talking openly about child sexual abuse and finding ways to help not just the survivor and perpetrator, but also the whole family. When something like this happens there are ripples of impact and everyone needs the opportunity to heal from it.

Instead of relying on others, focus on your own abilities, hopes, and dreams. Every day, strive to become a better version of yourself and work towards achieving your goals. With dedication and effort, you can become the person you aspire to be.

Don’t give up! Find what helps you to feel free. Whether it be writing, art, long walks in nature, a war room. Whatever the outlet, you are not the victim your abuser molded you to be. You are so much more! Through time you can discover who you are.

My husband is abuse emotionally, physically and financially. He threatens to kill me if I leave him. I have tried to engage his family but they keep defending him. Everyday is a blessing that I am still alive.

I would love to heal from the PTSD I suffer everyday. The flashbacks and feeling of reliving the sexual assault is overbearing majority of my days. I hide it well, but I feel defeated.

Never, ever feel like you need to be silent about your story. When you are comfortable, tell loved ones and seek resources to help you get through the situation.
