I wasn't sexually abused, but physically and mentally abused. So why did I write here? Well I get the feeling you are writing is because a lot of people (who are totally clueless) have trouble believeing that a mother can abuse their kids. No problem with the father, but a mother, well that just can't be. I had trouble with a lot of relatives who didn't want to believe it.

In a college class I just took, we learned that abuse is actually higher in mothers than fathers. But I am sure a lot of that is because there are a lot more single mom's out there who take full care of their children than, fathers, but still the facts kinda shocked the class. Some in class had trouble believing that facts. I just wanted to stand up in class and "inform" them that yes mothers can abuse, it happened to me. But the proff. handled it fine.

I think there is something so wrong for a parent to do this, it takes everything away from an already vulnerable child who is innocent.
