Wow, that is amazing. I find that the abuse seldom is talked about. Since I was never a victim I tend to think it does not exist accept for those occasional news stories. But yet it does and it is so devastating.
ReplyDeleteI know twice I have seen someone brave enough to mention on their blog that they were abused. And then I could not believe the number of people, many of which I thought I knew a bit about, come forward and say me too.
I had a friend who had this happen with a Uncle (or was it a friend of the family) and her mother never did anything to stop it and would not believe her daughter. In the end I think it all but put an end to the relationship between her and her mother. I know it opened my eyes. Not so much details and she did not provide many details which I really did not want to know. But instead I chose to get a book and read and learn. I have never finished that book. It was a very hard thing to read. I can not even imagine being a child and having to experience that and all the devastation afterwards.
Thank you for joining the carnival and posting about the subject. If it is as prevalent as you say, I think this needs to no longer be taboo and unmentionable but instead something that is no longer hidden and allowed to continue. I know, easy for me to say.
I'm with you on this one Nick, as you know I have done a post recently about this very subject.
ReplyDeleteI've bookmarked the link-I will read it later on (after I've had a nap) and will hopefully comment on what I've read.
ReplyDeleteI have not read the post as Prince is ready to start our day but I have VERY STRONG feelings about abuse. I think the law should be stronger and if I could be the one to enact it, those who commit the offence would be Shot. That is the way I feel and I am sticking to it. Peace
ReplyDeleteI take this so seriously since I have my own kid. Seeing any child abused or even hungry, or crying due to violence, or whatever, makes my heart break and feel sick to my stomach. Cheers Nick!!
ReplyDeleteI just read your post from 2006 that was submitted to the carnival. Thanks for telling your story, Nick. I feel sad when I think of the damage that is done by one person to another. It's all so mixed up. I'm sure that your ex's father had not-so-happy stories of his own growing up years. It all just perpetuates itself. I'm glad that you and others are bringing more light to this painful problem.
ReplyDeleteI hate child abusers.
ReplyDeleteNick, I went to the carnival link, then to the link to your contribution. What a wrenching story!
ReplyDeleteI hope that your wife has finally found a relationship in which she's home, but how sad that you too had to suffer so much agony because of her tragic childhood.
Thank you for sharing it all. I know it had to be almost impossibly difficult.
wow Nick....just...wow.
ReplyDeleteNick, I remember the series you wrote about child abuse back in 2006. I had forgotten how compelling your articles were. I am so glad you had this in the Carnival so that I could read all of them again.
ReplyDeleteI read all 4 of your linked articles on incest. Thank you for your insights and the information you shared. I am the partner of an incest survivor.
