“Does not have any effect on the kids..”
I know several people who were sexually abused as children. No effect? It is the exact opposite. One woman had her issues with drug/alcohol abuse (she is sober now) all due to trying to dull the pain of her abuse. Another woman has attempted suicide twice... as a teen and a college student. Yes... she just couldn’t take the “flashback memories” anymore. Another woman has had a difficult time finding a good man. She has dated good men but she distances herself. She can’t let herself get close or fall in love. Why? She loved someone before and look how they hurt her. I pray for the victims of childhood abuse (physical, sexual and emotional) because they are damaged in a way. The idea that some “psychological group” is making all of this sound warm and fuzzy infuriates and sickens me at the same time.
