Thank you for your sticking with us through this time of vacations and crazy work schedule where we had to take a break
But now we wanted to talk about something that has been on our minds a lot since we really find it important that as survivors of abuse that we do share our stories
But what do you say when people don't know how to respond?
Which ends up being a lot of the time
Sometimes the subject of being a survivor comes up at unexpected times and we might not feel like it's appropriate to share our story
Or are we just dodging it because we don't feel like talking about it?
None of us like to feel judged or shamed and sometimes it feels like the easiest way to avoid that is to not talk about it at all
Then this message that is so important will never get out
So how do you know when to talk about it? and how do you deal with it when people respond in an unhelpful way.
