I am writing this blog, because when I first started reaching out for support for my healing journey, I was shocked and astonished with the lack of support their is available for people who have experienced the heinous crime of childhood sexual abuse...
Sure there are some great websites, and organisations here and there (In Australia), however, growing up and consequently healing from living with a alcoholic parent all my life....and the resources available to people on the same journey....does not even come close....
So I want to raise awareness for the need for more resources available to people, as one thing I have become acutely aware of is the number of people living with this trauma, yet not knowing where to go to get support, or seeing it as all too hard as the stigma associated with it, coupled with the lack of openly available support to do so.
I also want to share my story, as I have been so grateful to the others out there that have done the same and have helped me have the courage to continue...
I will not be using names, nor giving explicit details....I will be however, be writing from my heart in total honesty....
This experience forgotten until recently has taken the rug from under my feet,,,,thrown me into a world so unknown to me, its has scared me deeply, yet I know I have the resources within to deal with it all...and there is always divine timing in everything..
I want to acknowledge and thank from the depths of my being, all the people who are lovingly supporting me through this....without you, the ease and grace that I see it all unfolding with would not be the same...
I welcome comments, I ask that nothing is taken personally, and this is a journal of sorts of my journey, my truths and I do not state them in the context that they are everyone's, expect my own....
