My name is Guy Lowry, and I’ve been asked to help in the production of this video; to help people who have been abused as children, and I was one of those victims. And I found that it had a profound impact on my life. As a child, growing up, I found that there were many things I didn’t understand and they carried on into adulthood.

Melissa -Survivor
See the Full interview I am a survivor of abuse, incest, and rape, but I also have Aspergers which is a form of autism. People don't think that we understand what consensual and non-consensual means. They are dead wrong because we know what it means. - Melissa See the Full interview

Cindy Lowry -Spouse of a Survivor
See the Full interview It appears to me that there is one aspect that hasn't been touched on yet, but might be helpful - namely the wives/husbands of survivors. Being one, if I may, I would like to offer some thoughts... - Cindy Lowry See the Full interview

My childhood sexual abuse began, to the best of my knowledge, right before kindergarten began, and ended when we moved at age 11. I had no idea that what was happening to me was wrong, until in fifth grade, the boys and girls were separated to have the talk about the "birds and the bees". They also informed us of the "bad touch, good touch". It was then that I realized that I was getting those "bad touches".

Silvana -Singer, Songwriter, Survivor
See the Full interview I was in my late teens when I finally accepted the truth that I was sexually abused at a young age. I don’t know what felt worse at the time: Realizing I had been abused or knowing I somehow had to put the past behind me and start surviving it. - Silvana See the Full interview

I don't know what to do. I feel so alone right now. I am barely hanging on. I have no one to talk to. They don’t believe me. They blame me for all that has happened. I can't take this. I just want a hug so bad. I want to be loved and to stop being so unlovable. I want someone to understand that I am not doing this for attention. I need someone to just hold me.

Cheryl Othier -Survivor
See the Full interview Hi, my name is Cheryl Othier, and I’m on my journey of healing. I think I liken it to peeling back layers of an onion, but having to continue to live while you’re doing it. Life goes on and yet, I found for me, that this whole process, everything that happened in the past, has kind of reached out like feelers. - Cheryl Othier See the Full interview

Kimberly -CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE: TRADEGY TO TRIUMPH
See the Full interview The more that I thought about keeping silent about myself the more I realized that I hold back justice to my inner child. I decided no need to hold back, I am not at fault, I am not guilty, and I no longer carry the shame of the pain of my abuse. - Kimberly See the Full interview

Think of your healing as a real path, and your little girl and you are walking down that path a little at a time; sometimes she is playful and wants to play with the leaves that are falling, climb a tree, jump in the little creeks, she wants to be a kid. And that is OK. But as you walk down this path, there are things that come up and scare her - a big black bear, a snake, and other creatures that we find in the woods. During those scary times, you may have to carry her, comfort her, and coax h

Hi I’m Tasha, I’m a survivor of sexual abuse. I was abused by a couple relatives. I went through nine years of therapy and found a lot of comfort in that. I found a lot of comfort in the people I surround myself with. I worked in bars for a long time because I thought maybe being around drunk men would help me deal with it, it’s not the way to go…at all. I’ve learned that the hard way.
