Betrayed—I Was Molested & Threatened by My Best Friend & His Brother

Episode 84 Published 4 years, 8 months ago
Description

Trigger Warning: This episode touches on the subjects of molestation, sexual assault, and trauma. 

Rick was 8 or 9 when he was betrayed by his best friend. He didn't feel he could tell his parents, and the friend he did share it with threatened to tell everyone. How much of that affected his relationships moving forward?

Did you know one in six males are sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday? Unfortunately, many victims are reluctant to come forward due to cultural conditioning.
