The takeaway, of course, is that we should believe survivors when they talk about their trauma; they do know what they are talking about. Secondly, maybe we should stop trying to convince ourselves that young children will move past it and likely not even remember it when they’re an adult.
That’s not how trauma works.
One of the easiest ways to dismiss a survivor is to openly wonder “why it took so long to come forward”, without any understanding that coming forward is the exception, not the norm. Many, many victims never come forward at all, and most who do come forward do so well after the fact. That’s normal, not immediately rushing to tell someone.
