Brayden discusses the experience he endured at the hands of a nomadic family friend who sexually abused him as a child. In this episode we also discuss the actions of 'putting' this man with Brayden (during a sleepover) because he was a boy and not a girl, Parents reactions that are opposite and undesirable, The feeling of being seen as dirty and shame associated with assault and much more. We do manage to have some laughs along the way too. Join us for Part 2 next week.
