Hello!  A part of my purpose in this lifetime has become helping families prevent or heal from childhood sexual abuse.  My children and our family experienced pain that I hope never happens in other homes.  The perpetrator was my stepson who we took in as a 9 year old from another country.  By the time he was 11, he had perfected a strategy to systematically silence my children.  We are lucky they are alive and doing very well!  There is healing for children who have been so horribly violated & for parents who feel that they did not do everything possible to protect their children.  I have 2 groups that I would like to have other moms know about:  Preventing/Healing Childhood Sexual Abuse and A Child's Heart Speaks: Surviving Sexual Abuse
