Did you grow up in a home where there was abuse happening?
Let me tell you something, it can be happening right in front of the face of so called authorities, “trusted relatives”, & neighbors, and continue for years.
Did you hear what you said?
[quote]A child in an abusive household should seek protection from authorities or a trusted relative, whether or not they are pregnant.[/quote]
When a child is being abused often they do not understand that any adult can help them. That is what abuse does, strips the child of trust or the ability to reach out for help.
