Child Abuse

Once more on friendship

By Mike McBride

August 23, 2006

Since we’ve been having all this discussion about friendship and relationships, I thought I would pose a question. When you tell people about your abuse or talk to them about specific issues surrounding it, suffering from depression for example, how would you like them to react? What do you expect from your friends, family, significant other? Is it realistic?

Updated: Andy has a lengthy response on his blog. He raises some interesting points. I’m still working out my own thoughts on this subject, but I’d like to hear others opinions as well.
