*****

How does one survive a childhood of sexual abuse? The signs of child abuse, and later, of partner abuse, are not always obvious, especially when you are facing it first-hand. Whether experiencing these traumas first-hand or know somebody who is, remember: it is possible to leave sexually and physically abusive situations. It is possible to get out.

If you know a child experiencing these abuses, you must get them safely out. (Click here for information on reporting child abuse in Canada and here for information for folks in the United States).

Today, Jennifer (she/her) sits down with us to talk about how she continues to overcome her traumas, and how her history has shaped the way she raises her daughter.

Here is our podcast interview below. (Full transcript of the interview can be found here.)
