This is a
page were
You find out
what I feel
strongly
about.
Some people
I know might
be shocked,
Many more
will not be.
I am a
person of
few words
when it
comes to
speaking
out.
One day
however I am
hoping that
I play a
roll in one
cause,
That cause
is the end
of All Child
Abuse.
One in four
Adults have
been a
witness the
physical,
emotional
and sexual
abuse of a
child, Their
reason
for not
doing
anything,
They did not
know what to
do.
I will not
give my
response to
this one,
Believe me
you do not
want to hear
what it is.
DO NOT
JUST STAND
THERE
WATCHING.
Get involved
you could
very well be
saving that
Child's life
One more
thing before
moving on to
the next
section
Never, Never
ever tell an
abuse
survivor to
"GET OVER
IT"
It is
telling us
that you
don't care,
that it
doesn't
matter what
happened
that somehow
we deserved
it, we
didn't,
Don't you
think we
would Get
over it if
we could, it
is just not
that simple,
you can't
take a pill
and wash it
all away,
Drinking
doesn't
help,
stuffing
your face
with food
doesn't
help. when
we need to
talk please
listen, you
don't have
to say a
word, Reach
out your
hand and
hold ours,
perhaps even
just let us
cry on your
shoulder.
Most of our
days and
nights are
filled with
horrible
memories,
and most
days we are
ok, However,
Some days we
are not and
we need to
express our
pain, we
don't mean
to hurt you
or even
expect a
response
from you, we
just want a
moment
Of time, a
moment to
were we can
talk, Just a
couple of
minutes were
we feel like
we are the
only one
that
matters,
just for
that moment
in time. We
want it to
matter that
we were
hurt, We
want people
to know it
was not ok
to hurt us,
It was not
ok to be
ignored,
It
is not ok to
say it
doesn't
matter now,
it does
matter,
It will
always
matter to
us, we were
betrayed,
hurt and
told it was
our fault,
We grew up
believing
that we did
not matter,
that we were
trash and
all we want
to matter,
Even if it
is only for
a minute or
two. Each
day an
abused
person wakes
up is
another day
of pain and
of healing
