Has Your Trust Been Betrayed by a Sex Abuser? Your Innocence Violated? We Wish You Weren’t Reading This.
The scars of abuse are deep, disturbing and profound. The monstrous behavior of a predator destroys a child’s innocence, damages good health and shatters one’s foundation of trust and safety. The effects of abuse can linger for years, even after the abuse stops. Are you suffering from any of these common symptoms of an abuse survivor?
- Anger or hostility (directed at yourself, your abuser, those who could have stopped the abuse)
- Alcohol or drug abuse
- Guilt, self-hatred or self-blame
- Fear, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Avoidance of intimacy, marital difficulties
- Lack of trust, or
- Criminal or self-destructive behavior.
We Can’t Eliminate the Trauma of Sex Abuse, But We Can Help Shape Your Future
A successful claim against those responsible for abuse can yield many benefits. Any money recovered from a child sexual abuse matter can help pay for needed counseling or treatment, or allow you to obtain health insurance for future healthcare needs. Many people also find it therapeutic to bring their abusers to justice, or to hold institutions accountable for their harmful policies. A claim may also allow you to move on from past events and provide you with a measure of closure. Finally, your actions may stop abuse to other victims or correct the twisted policies of institutions that protect molesters.
