And if you remained silent, you're complicit

so when i was molested by an uncle when i was 11, but didn't say anything, mainly because of the shame and disgusting nature of it, until i was 33, to a therapist and then my family, i was complicit in the act?

i think if it were YOUR kid that something like this happened to, which i would hope would never happen to anyone you know, you'd probably feel a little differently....

speaking out about what happened to me was still very hard, even after all that time, and there are a multitude of reasons why i never spoke up before then... i have no physical evidence to prove that i was, so if that's the criteria to be met to be taken serious about the situation, does that mean that my family should't believe me about what happened?

this issue, at least to those of us balanced enough, isn't a political one... and this "yeah, but what about the other side" shite that both sides do, is getting very tiresome... if only y'all could channel 1/4 of the energy into preventing things like this from happening via a culture shift, as opposed to the amount of shite slinging that goes on, maybe we could have a society where this issue isn't something that can then be incorrectly portioned into a politically motivated shout speak forum
