Link – What Tig Notaro’s New Show Gets Right about Child Sexual Abuse

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

Although it’s estimated that one in 10 children will be sexually abused before age 18, it’s rare to see a TV series deal with the reality of child sexual abuse. There’s so much about the issue that One Mississippi gets right.

I’m not a subscriber of Amazon video, so I can’t comment on the show myself. It is nice, however, to read about a show that is taking on this subject with some sensitivity.

If you have seen it, what are your thoughts?

  • Men Have No One to Truly Open Up To According to Men

    There are more details to describe what some men meant by no one, but no one was a very popular response. I’m not surprised by that. I think most men don’t open up 100% to anyone. Part of it is not having that kind of relationship with anyone, part of it is society’s expectations of men to be strong and stoic, part of it is women’s expectations that the men in their lives remain strong and stoic, and part of it is just our unwillingness to have uncomfortable conversations.

  • Sharing – What not to say to someone with mental health issues

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    In my own experience, at my worst, I was alone. I made people uncomfortable because they didn’t know what to say or how to fix me. The truth was I didn’t need them to fix me. I needed them to treat me like they did before. They needed to talk to me about the ball game or the latest music they were listening to and stay connected to me somehow. I couldn’t speak to them about what I was going through, and I didn’t have the words to convey the pain I was in, but it would have done so much good to have someone remind me that I was still me, in the midst of all that.
