By coming forward and sharing my story and working with groups like safe shores here in Washington DC, and me being open and honest. Sharing how I was being abused was so harmful to my health and how important it is to share. I realize that the kid never did anything wrong and it’s never been my fault. One thing that held me up for so many years from speaking out was that I thought that it was my fault. I felt complicit in the act. So I’ll do everything I can to help safe shores and other Children’s Advocacy centers all around the country to raise the awareness that it’s never too late to get help from childhood sexual abuse.
