It's Time for the #MeToo Movement to Start Talking about Children [Forward]

Gail Kennedy 3/4/188:44 PM

When the #MeToo movement began, I watched, stunned. While in despair to learn of so many high profile predators using their power to intimidate and abuse women, I was also exhilarated; finally the world was opening its blind eye. Maybe my daughters will be able call out men who try to sexually intimidate them, and be believed.

But there was also a place inside me that could not feel anything, an empty place with no words, and no sound. A place I inhabited when I was a child, alone, trapped with a terrible secret, with no solution I could see, for getting out.

Visit advancingparenting.org. There are two bumper stickers that you should have on your car, #21and #51. Let me know if you would like them.
