As a parent of a 16 year old daughter and 14 year old son, I am often fearful and overprotective. The tragedies our family has gone through are totally different from your experience, but it is very real. I will share this with my children in hopes that it will help them be more aware of their surroundings and hopefully prevent them or their friends from becoming victims. <br />We all live with the 'That could never happen to me' attitude. As you and I both know real people become victims every day.<br />May God bless you and your family this Holiday Season!Robin Way Milesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497430725885292880.post-38889222918275147592013-11-29T19:08:45.720-05:002013-11-29T19:08:45.720-05:00Thank you for your encouragement, Brian.

It is enCOURAGEment, which we need, to be able to talk about these things, and maybe help prevent more of them, or help deal with the aftermath.<br /><br />And yes, guys too need to read and consider. Thank YOU for always being one of the Good Guys. We need each other. We need our whole community.--Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634179030174821176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497430725885292880.post-65020128265791122562013-11-29T18:45:32.343-05:002013-11-29T18:45:32.343-05:00Rebecca!

I trust this will make a difference in more than one person's life in a positive way.<br /><br />I do not like knowing this happened to a friend of mine, but I admire your courage for writing about it in such a public way, and I love you for doing it for all the right reasons.<br /><br />I especially like how this piece encourages the guys to watch out for their female friends. <br />-Brian CopeBrian Copenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497430725885292880.post-47521600546475872812013-11-29T16:22:54.133-05:002013-11-29T16:22:54.133-05:00It happens in so many ways, and often, as in your ...It happens in so many ways, and often, as in your case, goes on when it should have been stopped.<br /><br />I don't have solutions. I can only say that I too am sorry you and others have been hurt this way. And we can help carry each other, and remind each other of our human dignity, which--no matter HOW IT FEELS--is NOT something any other person can take away. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing here. You are welcome to talk here if it helps you to break the silence in a safe place. --Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634179030174821176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497430725885292880.post-7290992864710564382013-11-29T15:57:00.649-05:002013-11-29T15:57:00.649-05:00Hi. Your story is sad and shocking and I'm so ...Hi. Your story is sad and shocking and I'm so sorry. For years when I was a preteen and a teenager I was molested by my step brother. When I was older I found out he also molested my sister when she was a little girl and a preteen also, years and years longer then me. He told her if she told he would hurt me to. She never told and she never knew I was hurt. In the end I didn't tell her because I didn't want her silence to mean nothing. I remember the look of relief on her face when I said nothing had happened to me. I only want her to be happy. I wish she had told someone through. I love my husband and my children very much, but even today it is very hard for me to be touched unless I know it is coming. I know it hurts my husband when he reaches for me and I flinch away, when I don't know what he is doing. I don't know how to beat that feeling of revolt when he touches me sometimes.<br /><br />I'm sorry you were hurt. I feel awful and I wish there was something I could do. Instead I try to trust in God and try to keep others safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497430725885292880.post-38847302017302395512013-11-29T10:19:16.819-05:002013-11-29T10:19:16.819-05:00I can hardly comment on this because of what I fee...I can hardly comment on this because of what I feel but I hope and pray that God heals you and that you know that you were not alone either. And I want you to know that your story touched me, and that I'm sure it will touch others.

I love you for sharing this even though it is horrific and the pain is always lurking somewhere in the background but we are more than conquerors, especially in this; that you glorify God by seeking to keep others from it or comforting them by sharing that they are not alone.glenwiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218402658710217669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497430725885292880.post-73429285333478596512013-11-28T20:49:49.434-05:002013-11-28T20:49:49.434-05:00David.
