For years, Sherry physically tortured her younger sister and threatened to kill her if the cruelty was revealed.

Each year, 19 million children are abused by their siblings and well over 80 million adults have suffered this type of abuse.

Download or read book Victims and Survivors Own Stories of Intrafamilial Child Sexual Abuse written by Steve Broome and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the UK today, it is estimated that nearly one in twenty children are subjected to sexual abuse, with the overwhelming majority being abused within the family environment. However, despite its prevalence, intrafamilial child sexual abuse remains largely shrouded in silence, shame and stigma. Taking a phenomenological approach, this book presents ten retrospective first-person accounts from adult victims and survivors, exploring the impact of such abuse throughout the life course. These stories illustrate how child sexual abuse can cause trauma affecting almost every aspect of life: emotionally, psychologically, interpersonally, behaviourally and cognitively. However, they also demonstrate the remarkable resilience of the human spirit; of how adverse experiences can be lived with, processed, and assimilated. These accounts address a gap in what academics, practitioners and policy makers know about child sexual abuse; give victims and survivors a voice; and open up a conversation about one of the most enduring societal and cultural problems.
