Child Abuse

Speaking Out
ByMike McBride April 16, 2008April 17, 2025 Reading Time: 1 minute

Being a survivor is a challenge, and healing from childhood abuse is a struggle. Don’t let anyone kid you about that. What it’s not is a death sentence. There is hope, there is joy, and there is life. It may be a long, rough tunnel, and the light at the end of it may seem dim now, but it is there. Survivors need to know that, and they should hear it from us.

As the comments point out, survivors often struggling with feeling like they…

Abuse. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. It’s sad, but it’s true, there are always going to be little “triggering” events that bring back all the fear and all the helpless feelings.
