Let Go…Let Peace Come In Foundation
http://www.letgoletpeacecomein.org/
…….Sexually abused children face unprecedented challenges as they grow into adulthood. This foundation was created to discuss and communicate those challenges and life altering effects with adult survivors from ages 18 to 100!
Research shows that regardless of whether survivors hold vivid, vague, or repressed memories of their childhood sexual abuse, the first step survivors must take is to understand the need for support and help to be able to LET GO… of the memories of the trauma, the shame, the fear, the isolation, and the one or multiple addictions they’ve developed over the years. Once adult survivors can start to see and correlate how the sexual abuse caused their life of dysfunction and disassociation it is the foundation’s hope that they will start to live again and LET PEACE COME IN to their hearts and lives!
“We must start now to face this problem with courage, with resolve, and most importantly with honesty, especially in recognizing that damage has been done in our childhood and that it was not our fault. We must then talk about it. We must talk with someone who understands, someone we can trust, someone who will validate our story. It will put us on the path to recovery, a path that will lead to a joyful and healthy life. The more forgotten victims - the family members who lived with the actual victim- as well as victims, we can reach, the better our chance for a healthier world, not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We are all in this together.”
