” getting help via chat rooms ”
AYC –
My incident was a very long time ago, and yes I got thru it. My parents gave us a very supportive home growing up, so I B’H got thru it without any lasting damage.
As far as what chat rooms can do, I see 2 things:
1) It allows victims to reach out to others that have been trhu the same (or similar) situation so they know they are NOT to blame ( a tactic that many abusers use to keep the victim quiet)
2) It puts abusers on notice that their actions WILL become known. It may not cure them, but it will make them think twice before acting, and if not, it will get them caught.
