I just want to add that I am incredibly fortunate that I have never been the victim of sexual abuse nor have I had disturbing sexual urges. So, I am reading all of this objectively. I can only imagine how painful and hellish both of those things would be. I feel for everyone who has been hurt. I wish everyone all the best. I hope all who have been traumatized and victimized will be able to find inner peace and a feeling of safety. I hope that everyone finds the help and healing they need and I hope the cycle of abuse ends. It is truly heart-wrenching to see the pain that abusers inflict on children and how that pain manifests itself (in various ways) throughout the lives of their victims.
