So at the risk of criticism I feel a need to say something that has been on my mind a lot today. So Idaho is having an Add The Words rally or something. While I am neither for nor against it it's getting old that people are still fighting these battles for the LGBT community. Things are moving forward for them already. But they are a minority! There is a much larger group of people who need more help than this community. This group is those who have been sexually abused. 1 in 4 are abused this way. At least half (if not more) are from family members. Yet this stays a taboo subject to talk about. When it is discussed outside of counseling it's hard to find people who won't think that you're dirty or used or won't look at you differently. Some even say you asked for it or provoked it. Most of society can't/won't talk about it. Some have family members telling them not to share their story for fear of upsetting others. There is a statute of limitations for when you can report it. And it's hard to prove later in life. I know because I've been there. I can't ever prosecute my father for what he did. The time frame is over. All he got was a restraining order. My mother told me not to share my story because it would upset my siblings. I've had someone tell me that I, a young child under 8 years old, provoked my father somehow because no real father would do that. I was one of the lucky few to have found a counselor who helped through this and people who wanted to hear my story. Finding help and not treating sexual assault survivors as dirty is what people should be rallying for! These are the people who need society fighting for them!
