Victim To Victor With Victor Pacini

Often times people will question why an adult who was sexually abused in their childhood waited years to disclose. I cannot speak for all victims or survivors, but I can say with a certainty many of us felt shame, embarrassment, and guilt; we were led to believe it was our fault or we could get in trouble. Many of us loved our abusers because that same abuser was someone we once trusted and we didn’t want them to get into trouble. It is possible for victims and survivors to work through healing and unlearn what they were taught in the midst of survival: they were never at fault and their abuser is to blame. www.VictorPacini.com/the-right-to-come-forward
