Thanks for relating.

I kind of do this to myself because when I hear "rape" or "sexual assault" I have to listen. I have to read, I have to watch it. Then I get upset. Another story was on the news about "How parents can protect their children! Advice from convicted sex offenders" What about the fact that most offenders aren't convicted at all!! Then they do say "Most offenders are close to the victim like uncles, family friends, stepfathers" I know it would be kind of crazy to mention "Your husband might rape your child" or "Your own child" But it's true! It makes me mad that they totally omit it as if it never happens.

Then the sex offenders say "We target single women with children" "Teach your children good touch and bad touch, tell them to tell someone" Of course I heard that stuff but it didn't matter! What about the fear that comes with admitting that your family member abused you? Fear of losing everything that you have and ruining your family's life, (Which is in essence what my parents said -- why do you want to ruin our lives? Family sticks behind family, etc.)

So upset, sorry. Venting
