I have had the opportunity to tell my story in front of large groups of people over the last 5 years. You would be amazed at how many people come up to me after I speak and say me too. One young man said came up to me and said that he had heard me speak 2 years prior and he now had the courage to tell me his story. When he was finished he put his arms around me and cried. I have also had the abusers come up to me and share their guilt and share their personal stories of abuse. I believe that abuse happens way more than we realize and you are right. It is very hard to talk about. That why people like you need to lead the way and tell your story./ It makes it more comfortable for other to share their stories
