Abuse is not just sexual - it is also physical, emotional, and spiritual. We hide our shame thinking, as children, it is all our fault. And that is the power of abuse. We are soul murdered and kept silent. But today, the silence stops with me, my story. I am a survivor - of physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual abuse. I’ve wanted to commit suicide since I was eleven years old. And no one knew. Those of you who want us to stay silent - what are you hiding? Because a whole world kept silent in the nineteen forties, over eight million people, were murdered. Silence and silent abuse murders children, whether it be physically, mentally, spiritually, or sexually. To my fellow survivors - don’t give up! Have the courage to find yourself. Reclaim your self-worth, your dignity, and your soul. The silence stops with us.
