“Why in God’s name would anyone make up something like this and put themselves through more agony?”
Exactly. People want to believe that Mia implanted this in Dylan’s young mind, and they refuse to actually read the evidence. This story being made public is the best thing for abuse survivors. These stories have been systematically repressed for years, along with victim blaming, and not enough progress being made in abuse prevention. We can’t stop this epidemic, and it is an epidemic, until we face the reality, which is: 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men, before aged 18. It’s uncomfortable to talk about but so necessary.
Thank you for sharing your story, Breezy. I agree with angelescrest!
