        Thank you for sharing your experience and life story because of it. I think what my life would have been without my abuse as a child. At 57 its too late.

        True! Have an even deeper appreciation for Junot Diaz, after this. Read it in the middle of Manila traffic, the world around me melted away.

        @onthemedia @NYDailyNews @newyorker Why does @newyorker call it "trauma" and "assuault" when the author calls it what it was, "rape?" When it happens to kids why is it just "assault"? When that happens why do prestigious publications shrink from calling it what it is?

        To say that this is "brave" is not enough. "brave" is, more recently, a no-makeup selfie. This piece was BRAVE. Grateful that Junot Diaz asked his beautiful words to dig up this ugly corpse.

        I told. Was ostracized by family. Forgave. And was still tormented. The trauma is real. I explore some of it in my book Desert of Solitude: Refreshed by Grace in a piece titled, Set Fire to the Rain. https://www.scribd.com/document/375919860/Set-Fire-to-the-Rain-Desert-of-Solitude-Sample … #TheSilentChild #TheSilence #JunotDiaz #Healing #Grace

        Yup, telling isn't the answer if nobody is there to listen or intervene. Kids have instincts about who they can and can't tell. Still, I'm convinced these lifetimes of pain and suffering are wholly unnecessary with early intervention. Just means creating safe spaces for kids.

        I wouldn't say telling isn't the answer. I absolutely would not take my words back for anything. It's important to speak and stand up for yourself no matter who listens, believes, supports or none of the above. We don't speak out for an audience. We speak out to stop the abuse.

        That's your independent adult self talking about your experience and I applaud it. For a vulnerable, dependent child, not so much, things can and do get much worse. I told my mother. She refused to believe me. The next person I told raped me.

        (3) When I finally realized that, I stepped outside the family & went to the police. I could have gotten a bad cop, but thank God I got someone who listened and immediately went to arrest my tormentors. Both served the max time, which is why I've been ostracized by family.

        Very powerful telling of his story. Tears flow for the innocent childhood that was snatched from his grasp. But, also, powerful feelings of pride for him to have taken back his life after so many years of struggle.
