Today Jan continues her series on how to handle having someone, especially a child, disclose their abuse to you. The focus of this episode is how to mitigate the damage that self-blame and self-shame the survivor has already developed during the span of the abuse and making sure that you, as a safe adult in their life, don't compound that shame and blame.

*Correction: Throughout the episode the perpetrator is called step-son/stepbrother, he is in fact the half-brother.

Today Jan is joined by Ruthie who is the parent of a child that went through sexual abuse by her half-sibling for two years. The story today is this child's story, but through the eyes of her mother, showing the sacrifices one has to make initially to end the abuse and later to save her child's life after dysfunctional behavior has set in due to the abuse.

Today Jan is joined yet again by author, speaker, poet, voiceover artist Michelle Jackson so we can take a deeper dive into what her healing looks like. Not only has she had to deal with lapses in her mental fortitude, she also had a daughter to raise without passing on the trauma and dysfunction that she was raised in. While not perfect at this, including a suicide attempt when her daughter was 9, she was able to collect herself and learned one of the most important tenants of healing: How to ask for help.

Today Jan is joined by Leanne who is here to share her story of repressing her severe sexual abuse as a child for 35 years only to have a bad relationship bring up all of the damage. This not only led her to seek help, but through that help she has become an advocate for speaking out about abuse and through her volunteer work as a book with The Human Library she has been able to teach others how to un-judge those who have been sexually abused as a child that didn't speak up at the time.
