I just finished listening to Dotsie's & Lynn Tolson's teleseminar. As far as prevention goes, and that Power 'n Control issue, here is one point. If somewhere along the
line, parents could be warned to screen the people they
allow their children to babysit for, they may save some youngsters. One of my attackers was a professional man, I babysat for. I was taken by surprise. In those days everything was hush, hush. I was afraid of him; his power; his family; my family; and on and on. My point: If you let your children babysit, be careful who they babysit for!

My memories have never been repressed. And sexual abuse ruins
lives. Mental abuse ruins lives. I believe bibliotherapy helps
ease the hurt. Writing helps ease the hurt. But some scars never
completely fade.

Good teleseminar, Dotsie and Lynn!
