That is a great way of looking at it.October 27 is the anniversary of when my son disclosed that he had been r**** by 2 adult men while away at a Christian camp.For 16 years he carried his secret.We fought alcohol and drug abuse issues.Suicidal tendencies and depression and I never knew why until last year.I do have much to be thankful for...he is doing well,so is my daughter and our other 3 children who disclosed after that.There was such a whirl wind of disclosures it was hard to know what was next.I had actually prided myself on the fact that I had kept my children safe from abuse by being (or I thought) very vigilant in protecting them.Finding out how much I missed breaks my heart but we all understand that don't we? 5 of my 8 children have been abused the daughter and son I speak of suffered the most severe abuse...You are right I need to look at this anniversary in a different light.Our demons are out and we have begun to heal...Thank you.
