This month I asked the Survivors Voices Panel: Who was the first person you told about your abuse, and how did they respond? You can find the first set of responses in Part 1 here. The remaining answers are below. Please tread lightly - you are stepping onto sacred ground.
The First Person I Told represents stunning acts of courage, trust and hope for a better future, despite such pain and anguish. Thank you for sharing your stories. I'll never forget when I told my wife my story of childhood abuse. I'll never forget each one of you who shared your heartache and pain. I hope each of you may find some comfort by survivors helping other survivors heal from our wounds. As always, thanks again to Sara for providing this healing format.
