In “Patricia’s” sharing it is hoped that others might gain even the smallest amount of comfort and possibly guidance from her own journey and Childhood Abuse experiences . It is enlightening, positive, and ultimately healing.

Extended description

"Patricia’s" story is candidly told to both enlighten and alert. Childhood Abuse is a disease that our society can cure and prevent. It knows no boundaries within Racial, Economic, and Social groups. There are no clear- cut definitions as to what is and isn’t abuse. If the action is harmful to the child, it is unhealthy and therefore abusive.
This is a disease that does not call for extensive scientific research looking for a cure. Rather, it is a disease that elicits recognition and commitment on the part of all responsible adolescents and adults. Early recognition, acknowledgement, and subsequent intervention are necessary. However, the abused, as well as the abuser, need rehabilitation after that point or the cycle perpetuates itself and the statistics remain a constant.

The consequences of Childhood Abuse affect the quality of life for everyone in our country, not just its survivors. Its effects are far-reaching and negative. Statistics strongly support that fact. Patricia’s spirit and attitude are the exception for those that are abuse survivors…the overwhelming majority of its victims are not nearly so fortunate. Amazingly, she has beaten all the odds.
