FWIW it's quite common for things like this to cause a surge in people asking for help from therapists and the MH services in charities in England, because things in the media unlock bad memories. Here in England, there was a long spate of very well known children's entertainers from TV in the 1970s and 1980s who were exposed as pederasts. Some of the worst only after they'd died. There was a lot of brow beating about why no one did anything at the time as many suspected and in some cases, there was suppressed evidence. I was working in the NHS at the time. We all commented on the rise in consultations and need, because it reminded so many people of things they thought they'd forgotten. Or never acknowledged.

While that isn't applicable to me, all I would say from listening to people talk (including professionals), is to own your feelings. Don't push them away. Avoiding the media isn't always a bad thing, but it is if you are avoiding an issue it sparks for you. Suppression is never healthy. Some people took to reading everything they could find, and then decided if X could admit it it happening and get help (often a famous child celebrity), then they could too.

All I can say Liz, is having read and loved your posts on here for many years, is that my heart goes out to you and wishes that this is the start of healing and peace.
