Part Two (We highly recommend you listen to Part One first)
The host, Beth Armstrong, guides an in-depth discussion between three brave, astute and articulate women who speak together anonymously to share their stories of abuse when they were children and how it affected their lives.
As children, we grow and learn the ways of the world and what is right and wrong. Our parents and carers, who we rely on, are our guides. But what happens when those adults or any person asks you to do something, or someone does something to you, touches you in a way that doesn't feel right or makes you feel strange? Maybe you're told it's special or a secret, or that it's your fault. When someone who professes to love you and should protect you, hurts you, it's confusing and damaging at any age, especially for vulnerable children. How do you make sense of it, escape it and cope? Tonight's episode is the Child Abuse Club.
