"Never judge what you don't understand." ~Zane
Hard to explain to someone who has no clue. It's a daily struggle being in pain or feeling sick on the inside while you look fine on the outside. Please put this as your status for at least 1 hour if you or someone you know has an invisible illness (PTSD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, Diabetes, CROHNS, LUPUS, Fibromyalgia, MS, ME, NF, Arthritis, Cancer, Heart Disease, Epilepsy, Autism,M.D., Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Disease, etc...)
Adding to this list of invisible diseases, child sexual abuse.
Usually unsuspected, the perpetrator goes unpunished and the victim is left with a lifetime of pain. Invisible scars, not the physical ones that fade, but the mental and emotional ones. Statistics state that 1 in 4 females will be sexually abused before her 18th birthday. I keep counting the 'her's and 'she's that reside within my circle. 100's of us. I know i'm not the only one, Angel Eyes: A Collective Memoir of Child Sexual Abuse is testimony to that. But how much longer must my 'sister's remain hidden, Invisible. My heart breaks not for the pain we've endured, but because some are still too afraid, too ashamed to speak out! How can the cycle stop.................................?
