Patricia Eagle was thirteen when the sexual relationship with her father - a relationship that began when she was four years old -- ended. Patricia's journey is one of courage and hope as she finds the strength to see what was unseeable - and finally speaks the unspeakable to help herself and others.
For Patricia, shame became too great a burden. Not speaking up added to that weight. Sexual abuse is so prevalent - so many abused children, so many
perpetrators injured in some way that leads them to
inflict injury - and all this in our big world of
secrets. How can anyone get help when we don't
talk about this? Patricia decided to step into that
pool of courageous survivors who have told their story. She
believes that continuing to stay silent would have killed her.
In Patricia's interview, she addresses the questions many people
have regarding the sexual abuse of children.
the stigmas about openly discussing these issues?
help they need?
