 Quote From: hunneybear You know it is almost apalling to see people actually come on here and tell us that it is too much info. You deciding to keep your secret is your choice, but it is no easy task to come forward about this. It takes a mighty strong person to be upfront, and honest about their experiences on national television. And the fact that some of you were able to move on??? well good for you. This is an extremely serious issue that needs attention and I applaud the two families that appeared on the show, for their courage and strength. Speaking out may have been the best thing they could have done, not only for themselves, or their families, but for all those that were out there feeling like they were the only ones.sdpty333, you are an amazing person with so much heart, and to you I also raise my glass for standing up to those that are being close minded about this issue.l am tired of it being my fault, and it is attitudes like TMI that keep us in that rut of blamig ourselves. Do you really think that the poor woman with the three kids wanted this life style for her kids??? As emotional as she was, the fact that she is able to care for those children, and give them the best life she can, is another amazing thing. Can those of you that have had negative thoughts about this show...can you say that you could endure that kind of abuse, and still come out on top???? So the next time you think it's too much info, maybe consider those that might be able to get the help, or confidence they need to overcome demons such as these. And anyway, how do you get TOO MUCH information about any subject? The more you know the better you understand.
Sorry to say this, but the person who made that comment also said she had talked to her kids about it and felt like that solved the whole thing. For the sake of her children I hope they have been safe, but with an attitude of don't tell me, how can she be sure? That's doesn't seem like a way to teach children that they can tell you their problems when they hear only tell me a little bit cause I don't want to know anything bad.
You can do a whole lot of protecting and still have your kids be abused. Are you with them 24/7? Do you think it is only the weird looking guy on the street corner or the wild haired man down the street that does this abuse? Stay away from them and you are safe? NO it happens in the best of homes, schools, relatives, people you trust with your children. |
