MODERATORS
When people dismiss children's concerns. Maybe to adults is not a big deal, but to kids it does matter. I make an effort to pay attention and listen when a child tells me something.
This. Sexual abuse goes ignored because of this attitude in parents
Absolutely and lets add that some children only disclose once to a trusted adult who might not always pay attention. It breaks my heart.
Something I sometimes forget as well. Great reply.
I also feel particularly passionate about this, as felt totally dismissed by nearly every adult in my life as a kid. That shit feels so defeating and isolating. it can seriously fuck you up.
So at some point it stopped for you?
I wish. lol. no, I just became an adult.
It is. Sending you an internet Hug. You matter and should have had someone who listened to you back then. ๐
