Sexual Child Abuse Happens to Males Not Just Females

by Sherry
(Arizona, USA)

To All Our Brothers: 
This is scars in Arizona, I would like to say something to all the men and little boys out there who were abused. I was witness to my brothers abuse and he was abused like I was sexually, physically and emotionally. Alot of people think only little girls are abused sexually or raped, let me tell you I can still hear my brothers screams this I dont think i will ever forget. I want all the guys out there to know that I understand and you have me on your side. I dont see my older brother but I love him and wish I could change what happened to us. Our father died years ago and I wish my brother would talk to me about the things we went through and why or how he was able to forgive my father I still struggle with it all. God bless all of you, your friend in Arizona.
