I personally feel that everyone is affected by child abuse. I am a grown woman of 35 years. My husband is affected by my past, as are my children. My everyday life making decisions are effected by my past. The way I relate to the general public, be it in a store or at the park is effected by my past. I consciously make decisions everyday to not be like my Father. I will not put up with belittling or disrespect to others of any kind. I constantly teach my 4 children to love and respect one another, to not judge people they do not know. I teach them how to be better friends and siblings to one another. I am constantly trying to teach my 13 year old to not be the child is school making fun of others just to fit in. It's always about respect and empathy; it's the fact that he does not know the kind of home life some of the kids at school have. I believe that child abuse affects many people in many walks of life. Thank you to God for those who will never know what this is like, and thank you to God for helping me to turn my own memorries, pain, and fears around to help my children and others to break the chain.
