Oh, man, we would share SA stories all night long, couldn't we? I peed my pants once due to SA, I cried out loud in class...once, and never again, pushed down nice and deep, but you're story of your teacher lambasting touched me deeply. It breaks my heart to hear such stories and I hear them a lot. It was only after my mental health training and looking at my own emotional struggles that I understood teachers rarely have the awareness of what is happening for a child. It's not their "fault", they simply lack the training and awareness to notice. I wish they did. But as you say, the past doesn't dictate our future:) thanks goodness!! I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts and ways you overcome SA. Awesome post, Duff. Oh, man, we would share SA stories all night long, couldn’t we?
