Many lesson's go without being a thought of teaching . Such as child sexual abuse! exploitation and rape ( sometimes brutally ) abuse will always be traumatizing no matter what ! But for children it can be harmful not physical but mentally . in my case I was a 7 year old little girl who didn't see the wrong it what was happening at home . For 25 year's I protected this man while he built his life and mine was being destroyed by the second. This man was One of my brother's best friend's and someone my father had looked at as another son. he has kids a job his life seems so picture perfect from the out side . he was living the dream until one day I watched this story on the news It was about a man that had held this women captive for some time in hopes she would eventually would fall in love with him All of a sudden tears flowed down my face and I began to sob, I didn't really comprehend why at this point! then over time it hit me I was confused for year's shamefully now seeing I had been confused about being in love with him . I for the longest time felt ashamed and i didn't dare tell anyone because well how can it be assault if I was confused about my feeling's ( I was 7) To me this was normal As much as I hate to admit it my father use to rape my mother almost on a daily basis so I thought this was acceptable. now everything in life seems so questionable
