I find the denial of incest one of the hardest issues members in my Facebook group have to deal with. They cannot heal if their own family won't even entertain the possibility they are telling the truth about a father or brother or whoever. The victim is so truly alone when this happens and feels even more ashamed and more responsible for it all. No, we aren't powerless but we sure have our jobs cut out for us. I just hope others follow my lead and talk about incest, blog about incest, write books about incest and start making it a word that doesn't bring a glazed look into people's eyes!Vigabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759933133939472793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863985539323214850.post-21400775014132694302013-06-24T18:41:36.667-07:002013-06-24T18:41:36.667-07:00Viga, I'm glad to meet you and hear your voice...Viga, I'm glad to meet you and hear your voice! You are so correct - people can talk about human trafficking because it is still an arm lengths away. When they are faced with the reality that sex abuse is happening next door, denial kicks in because it is too frightening and people think we are powerless to do something about it. We aren't powerless. Speaking out releases power inside and puts cracks in the denial. Can't wait till you organize the parade!

You know, over the years, the gays have fought and fought to come out from under and today they hold Pride parades etc. I spoke to a young fellow writing his own book, "A Gay Muslim" and noticed how he didn't bat an eye when he first came out and said he had been abused as a child. He has reached a state I would want all victim/survivors to reach: to not be afraid to speak up without hesitation about his past and his present. We need to reach that stage. The children of Incest need to be able to march in parades and not see people flinch and turn away when we utter the word that tells them what happened to them in our families. <br />Vigabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759933133939472793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863985539323214850.post-57447498691135437562013-06-15T09:07:10.785-07:002013-06-15T09:07:10.785-07:00Viga, very well said, my friend.

Yes, as more of us speak out, fewer will be left in their denial of incest which is happening next door or on the next street or even in their family. We will no longer be silenced by our abusers or by society who wants to stay in their comfort zones. Thank you for being a beacon of light for other survivors.Patricia Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114250171020836470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863985539323214850.post-58162314165290134942013-06-15T08:26:10.605-07:002013-06-15T08:26:10.605-07:00Thanks Sherri <3Thanks Sherri <3Vigabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759933133939472793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863985539323214850.post-22179816756572965682013-06-14T12:27:57.281-07:002013-06-14T12:27:57.281-07:00Brilliant!!!
