The enduring nightmare

What most people do not realize is that children who have been abused are actually traumatized. For the most part, these children grow into adulthood trying to cope the best they can with their warped set of values since no one usually intervenes for them emotionally. As adults, these survivors continue to have difficulty in their day to day lives because the trauma of their abuse continues to haunt them over and over making their lives as adults unmanageable. This is why the suicide rate is so high for those who have been abused. We must do something to reach out to these forgotten group in our society and stop the abuse before another child is traumatized and enters the nightmarish cycle.
