Speaking out saves lives
Doing something is far better than doing nothing it seems, as survivor Kezelman says.
‘‘I was not nurtured and protected as a child, as every child needs and deserves,’’ she says. ‘‘I had no adult to whom I could go for care; no one reported my abuse. No one helped. I was isolated and abused for a decade. It is only now that, in my mid-50s, after a lot of good care and support, I have been able to speak about what happened to me. I have worked hard to process
the effects of my abuse and put it to rest.
‘‘I have no doubt that had someone reported my abuse early on, had someone reached out to me when I was still a child, I would
not have had to go through as many years of bare bones survival. I would have learnt how to live well so much sooner.’’Interview ABC Life Matters – the importance of good friends in Recovery
