People can live as a victim and let that torment them for a long time. Or they can open up and say, I was sexually abused, and I'm not scared of saying that. Everybody has to know what's happening, not keep it hidden. It's like electricity, once it connects to one person it connects to somebody else. If you don't deal with it then you're going to affect somebody else.
People sexually abuse others because they've been abused.
They should be acknowledged and helped by the community, given options. These things have to happen. I started to get all these flashbacks. It made me feel dirty, it made me disrespect myself because I didn't know what I was remembering. Once I recognised these things did happen to me, I started to find out who I really am.
