LET´S IMAGINE
A MAN AND HIS WIFE,
TOGETHER WITH THEIR CHILD
ARE ON HOLIDAY.
LET´S IMAGINE
THIS MAN AND HIS WIFE,
TOGETHER WITH THEIR CHILD,
AFTER COMING BACK
FROM HAVING BREAKFAST OUTDOORS
THEIR CHILD WENT FOR A NAP UPSTAIRS
WHILE THEY STARTED
MAKING LOVE
DOWNSTAIRS.
LET´S IMAGINE
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER
THEIR 4 YEAR-OLD GIRL
STARTED CRYING.
LET´S IMAGINE
THE REASON BEHIND
THIS SWEET 4 YEAR-OLD GIRL´S CRYING
IS A TRAUMA
FROM HAVING BEEN
SEXUALLY ABUSED
BY HER PATERNAL GRANDFATHER
DURING 10 TIMES.
LET´S IMAGINE
THIS LITTLE GIRL´S PATERNAL GRANDFATHER ABUSE
CONSISTED OF
MASTURBATING REALLY CLOSE
TO HIS LITTLE GRANDDAUGHTER´S FACE,
CAUSING HER
CONSTANT CRYING
WITH TERRIBLE FEAR,
AS WE ALL CAN UNDERSTAND,
SINCE THAT VERY FIRST SEXUAL ABUSE.
LET´S IMAGINE
THIS 4 YEAR-OLD TODDLER
HAS CONSTANT NIGHTMARES
AND CONSTANT THOUGHTS,
AS EXPECTED,
ON THE 10
SEXUAL ABUSES
SHE´S GONE THROUGH,
NOT BECAUSE SHE CONSCIOUSLY WANT TO,
BUT BECAUSE
HER SEXUAL ABUSE TRAUMA
IS TRAPPED
IN HER SUBCONSCIOUS.
LET´S IMAGINE
THIS LITTLE GIRL´S MOTHER
STARTED SHOUTING AT HER
BECAUSE HER MOTHER THINKS
SHE CRIES FOR NO REASON.
LET´S IMAGINE
THIS LITTLE GIRL,
LIKE UNFORTUNATELY THOUSANDS,
IS GOING THROUGH
A REAL TOUGH SUFFERING
AND NEEDS
BEING HUGGED,
KISSED, LOVED
AND TOLD:
“I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU,
YOU ARE IN SAFE HANDS,
YOU ARE SAFE,
SMILE WITH ME
AND GIVE ME
A REALLY BIG HUG!”,
PARTICULARLY WHEN THE CRYING STARTS,
BECAUSE SHE NEEDS IT.
LET´S IMAGINE
PARENTS WHO WANT
TO REALLY HELP THEIR CHILD
HEAL THAT TRAUMA
SHOULD TURN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS
INTO GENEROUS ONES
IN ORDER TO PUT THEIR CHILD FIRST
NO MATTER
HOW ENJOYABLE
THEIR ACTIVITY GOING ON
MIGHT BE.
WHAT IS NOT RECOMMENDABLE
WHATSOEVER
WHEN A CHILD,
VICTIM OF A SEXUAL ABUSER,
STARTS CRYING
NO MATTER HOW OFTEN THAT DAY,
NO MATTER WHERE,
NO MATTER UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES,
IS BOTH SHOUTING
AND TELLING HER OFF.
SHOUTING,
TELLING HER OFF,
NOT SIDING WITH HER
ARE TOTALLY
RULED OUT.
A CHILD´S LIFE
IS WORTH EVERYTHING
SPECIALLY WHEN IT IS YOUR DAUGHTER,
NO MATTER HOW LONG
AND WHAT IT TAKES!
PARENTS´ GENEROUS HEARTS AND MINDS
HAVE THE POWER
TO HEAL
THESE SWEET CHILDREN
NEEDING
LOVE,
ATTENTION,
GENEROSITY,
PATIENCE
AND TIME.
