This is going to be a challenging time for survivors of sexual abuse

As more information from the Ghislaine Maxwell files leaks and becomes public, there are going to be a lot of horrific details being discussed openly online and in the media. It's very important that this info comes to light, and I'm glad that it is, but don't forget there will be a lot of people having flashbacks and painful memories coming back.

Please be compassionate and give warnings when posting about this material. You don't know who is and is not a sexual abuse survivor (and no one should ever be in a position of having to reveal that information unless they're comfortable with it or it's necessary for an investigation).


Here are some resources for anyone who needs them:

National Sexual Violence Resource Center: https://www.nsvrc.org/
Rape Abuse and Incest National Network: https://www.rainn.org/
National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse: http://www.naasca.org

Not to mention we have a POTUS that is behaving like an abuser who has found out his victim is planning to leave, or report him.
