Description

WARNING: Very sensitive subject

This piece is dedicated to the Sexual Assault Campaign held by :iconpeterdawes: and :iconobsidian-siren: [link]

This campaign in particular I hold close to my heart. I am a Survivor of Incest and could tell you long and large more than this space would allow, the consequences of child abuse weather by a stranger or by someone of your same blood. I was raped when I was 10 years old, been to Hell back and forth and understandably I am not particularly merciful about the fate of abusers or their excuses. Some people might think that my outlook on it is not very Christian and that I should forgive. My position on it is probably more Spiritual rather than religious. The Universe is the Great Teacher......and I subscribe more to the law of Karma. You reap what you sow....and so from this position this makes me in control and power of My Life....I have no need to have vengeance on my "brother"....in my awareness though he is still breathing and alive, the connection or any significance he might have held at some point is long dead. The victim I once was is quite dead...and it gave birth to another person much stronger and aware. This is my peace and victory....any torment I suffered died with him....but before any victims of abuse can reach that state it is unfortunate that much work and sheer Will Power has to be done....many do not even come out of the closet and are still wandering in an emotional waste land...I am one of the fortunate ones.

Abuse perpetuates itself through silence, indifference, denial and really I understand that to even attempt at conceiving of the atrocities that it provokes is repulsive and particularly loathsome. A reality is determined according to the greatest number of people that holds this belief. Make an effort to break the Silence....this is perhaps how true evil spreads. Thank you!

A big thank you to all the stock providers :heart:

...Very emotional and strong image.Your" story "is touching my to the deepest of my soal.And ,as I said before,you have all my admiration,for the effort of your "autotherapy",and the enormous work you had to go through,to be,what and how you are today.You choose the right and best way,'to set your sorrow and pain free".Keeping the silence is the worst thing to do.
Nobody can remain "indifferent"to your story,neither to this image.
But I feel the need to"analyze"this one,many things are "hidden"in there,though the image itself is "simple"and might seem clear.
I wonder if the little girl is in the arms of her mother(she doesn't seem to put her arms arround the child,or"protect"her.Or,is it the little girl,who grew up,and therefore the adult woman?I see the graves beside,and there is a person on the knees,in the "mist",but I can't see clearly,who it might be.On the left side of the background,the big,green trees,are meaning to me:hope and strength,new energy.
Well ,that is my "artistical and personal"observation,my dearest.Again,congratulations,and thank you,for sharing this . recieve my most warmhearted consideration and friendship:)
