MY FAULT?

DO TELL SOMEONE! Inner Turmoils Surrounding Sexually Abused Victims FOREWORD      Sexual abuse has been occurring for many years. No one is immune to it. Each incident has a devastating effect, leaving behind a wide variety of emotions. Fear, shame and anger are a few of the more common examples. It reduces self-esteem in such a way that even the most confident person can’t escape its horrors. It can also cause confusion, depression, suicidal tendencies, insanity and emotional turmoil that can last for many years. Many victims, when left untreated become victims many times all over again. Some turn to prostitution, gigolos, mental institutions, residents of penal intuitions, residents to drug and alcohol abuse centers etc. These are the one you hear about most often and wonder why they chose to lead these type of life styles. These victims have these problems without consciously knowing it stems from their unfortunate past of having been sexually abused. Other victims that you don’t hear or know so much about go on to become dysfunctional, possible abusive parents who perpetuate the same kind of behavior by allowing their own children to be victimized, or victimizing their children in the same manner.       One way to deal with this problem is prevention. You can’t ever start too early teaching your children to recognize potential harm. Teach them about “good touches”. It may take a while for the child to gain the courage to reveal when a “bad touch” has occurred and when they do, intervention need to take place immediately.      There are many people in a trusted position to whom your child can fall victim. Some of whom are the father, stepfather, uncle, clergy, brother, mother, stepmother, grandfather, other distant relatives, friends of parents, their own friends, teachers, baby sitters, dates and neighbors just to name a few. There are others that are strangers, but more often the victim knows and trusts their assailant so be aware.     The best way to deal with this type of crime is to seek professional and legal help. In this manner the victim will be able to identify the problem and work on it before they get out of control.        Teach your child self-confidence and foster it regularly. Help them develop and maintain a healthy, strong self-esteem. If they fall victim to such tragedy in their life help them to restore that self-esteem.      Loretta Leach, R.
