Sounds of Freedom is bittersweet for those of us who also resonate with what takes place within this remarkable movie of truth
I attended July 5th, 2023. I was surprised how difficult it was watch, sit though due to my own sexual abuse from ages 6- 16yrs old
By " those in authority positions "= teachers, police officers, peers, employees of Boys Club of America, both Fe/male perps. All walks of life and hierarchy of society.
My step brother and I attended. He knows of my abuse. I could have really lost it a handful of times during the movie.
Hits way to close to home He kept asking... " Are you going to be able to watch this movie ?"
I realize that many do not make it past their early 20's from sexual abuse.
I will be be 56 years old next week...
In my 40's I found out from one of my older brothers that he, and my oldest brother were also targeted by these same pedo's.
We were damaged goods in a way.. Father was a big time alcoholic Mother, passive aggressive codependent to my father due to her own abuse.
Never felt safe in my home growing up.
After all this...
Please share, discuss as much as possible to shed as much mighty, LIGHT upon this gross misjustice.
At work I had the opportunity to share with a fellow co worker about the movie .. A extreme sanitized, generic version of my abuse.
She had tears in her eyes. Initially she asked why I did not report it to any proper authorities...
Cause a handful " authorities " were evil, hardly proper in their role to serve, protect, and even save lives ie police and firemen that were my abusers.
God's children are not for sale or to be abused.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's never easy. Prayers to you for continued strength! Also a survivor with a similar family dynamic and age ... it messed me up for decades, but I am still here.
