My heart goes out to them.

I was just reading about their stories and thought I might start a thread. Lucky for me I noticed this one.

 

What a shocking story they have.  How about telling the other kids to turn away.  Setting them up to turn away when they see wrong happening, for a life time.  

 

Yes, these men certainly have found some courage. Thank goodness for this Royal Commission.  It's sad that they've lost so much in life to these rogue catholic priests that were supposed to be educating them not abusing them.

All those lives affected and for a lot of them, ruined. I have no words for these men- but I would hug every one of them- they are opening up the conversation for all survivors of abuse to tell their stories. I can only imagine their heartbreak..

 

 

 

 

I went to a Catholic girls school and there was physical and verbal abuse there, when I told my mother years later, she was shocked- none of us had told our parents...and some of those nuns were nasty violent bi*ches..

I went to a Catholic girls school. We were taught by Presentation Sisters and none of them were ever violent or abusive that I witnessed.
My younger brother was caned around the legs as a 5yo..... by a nun..... and our mother threatened her with similar if she ever did it again.
