We've been quiet too long. There should be no shame felt as a survivor. It was someone else who victimized you, which has caused confusion and pain. It's not your fault and you are worth the effort to stand tall and make noise. You don't have to be quiet. Break the silence.
If someone is abusing you or has sexually abused someone you know, get help. You don't need to be alone, because you are not. Find someone to be honest with.
There are many ways to seek help in the DFW. You can find the healing you need. This list in not all of the healing resources in the DFW, but it is a good start.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you need further assistance finding a safe place to heal.
