Two children experienced vile sexual abuse and never got the justice they needed; this left a hole in our family’s hearts that can never be fixed.  I am a mother trying to transform my pain into purpose after my children’s experiences of sexual abuse. By sharing my story about my children from a mother's perspective, I am committed to raising awareness, breaking the silence and supporting others who may feel isolated or voiceless.
