I'm praying for your counselee. For an artistic expression of the effects of child abuse, you might want to check out the song and video "Disarm" by the Smashing Pumpkins. It's on YouTube. The lyrics are rather cryptic but the author says it is about being abused as a child and then considering suicide as an adult. The line, "The years burn; I used to be a little boy,"always gets me. Powerful.
My cousin went to jail for 20 years for sexually abusing his daughters and stepdaughter. It's always hard to find the path of justice and compassion.
So very, very true. Pain all around.
