During World War II when the German people wouldn't speak up, when they saw the horror that was occurring many of them choose not to speak. Could the horror been stopped if enough people said something? Years ago in New York City a woman was attacked and raped in front of on lookers. Not one attempted to help the woman---what happened? This is called the Spiral of Silence.
Abuse is occurring in too many homes (varying types and amounts) and yet no one says any thing. Too many people without voices. Abusers rely on helpless individuals that don't say anything.
If you are being abused or abusing some one please seek out help. Tell some one, don't allow the abuse to continue. Don't be a part of the Spiral of Silence.
This week I will be giving a seminar at Joan Male Family Support Center . This center helps families (with children) in crisis.
