How do we, as a society, stop the cycle of abuse?

I realize this is a huge undertaking, and some may think this is an impossible feat.

Some thought Dr. King’s dream was impossible, but he started a movement that has changed our society. I, too, have a dream, and that dream is a society absent of abuse. In 50 years, we should look back on this decade to recognize the beginning of a movement and the end to an era of abuse.

Overcoming P.T.S.D.

During and after my childhood sexual abuse, I found myself dealing with systems of PTSD; I was depressed and overwhelming anxious. I would often experience a trigger during consensual sex that would cause flashbacks, taking me back to my childhood abuse. I spent years after my abuse trying to withdraw from family gatherings to avoid my perpetrator. As a child, I had horrible nightmares. I wasn’t aware that I suffered from PTSD until many years after I was grown.
