Easier said than done, but still something to actively work towards.
Thank you for the courage and strength to share what happened to you. You’re an inspiration, in that you are no longer scared of anyone here blaming you or reacting negatively, and that deserves recognition.
Yes, it could have been worse, but as you say that doesn’t make it even remotely okay.
Thanks for your kind works.
Seems like many here don't realise how common these things are. I'm personally aware of so many cases that happened across a wide range of communities. This is very real and unfortunately not much has been done to stop it.
The point of my sharing was that maybe some here would stop and think honestly for a second, "would my child be comfortable to come to me with that?". If not, which is probably pretty common, as you said its easier said than done, at least make sure they have someone in their life they are comfortable speaking to and sharing things with. This can really be the difference between life or death, or between a healthy life and one spent on battling darkness.
