This is my story. This is for victims only...the people who need to hear my story. Child molestation is a crime that has many forms and affects both genders. It's a crime that is committed by both genders, as well. But most of all it's an unpleasant subject that has to be talked about in order to expose molesters and free innocent victims. Victims who are now adults form a nation of quiet people who struggle through life, while fighting a silent battle of pain and feelings of worthlessness. I salute them with this letter, because I don't like being quiet. I like talking. This is my confession. I was molested. This is OUR validation. I salute the "quiet nation." I wish we could be free instead of quiet. I encourage you to talk and tell your story as well. Best wishes.
