I can vouch for this first hand. When I was molested as a child I didn't tell my mother. I think both the denigration from my mother and the sexual abuse seemed almost the same level so I was afraid to tell her, and I guess I didn't have an incentive to tell her because the feeling of the denigration from her seemed it would have been on par with the sexual abuse that I got from the man. The article makes sense to me. |
