I am amazed that the memory never seems to fade.
Eventually, as an adult, I met someone who made me feel safe. I married him in 1999, and we had two sons. After I became a mother, I constantly worried about my children and feared that something bad would happen to them if I didn't watch them carefully. Until my son was old enough to protest, when he would need to use the restroom, I would stand right in front of men's bathrooms and keep talking to him to make sure he was okay.
I never explained why I was opposed to sending my children to a summer camp, but it felt much too risky for me. My immediate reaction to saying"no" was deeply rooted in my childhood experience. In one instance, a patient told me that she used to love baking bread, but quickly changed the subject and told me a different story. It seemed that the imagined smell of freshly baked bread triggered a traumatic memory. Shortly after, she told me that she had been raped by a group of soldiers who stopped by her house during World War II. Her parents, at first, offered them freshly baked bread.
The total lifetime economic burden of child sexual abuse in the United States in 2015 was estimated to be at least $9.3 billion, according to a Johns Hopkins study. One of the advantages of working in academia is that I have opportunities to learn new and safe ways to care for patients affected by sexual abuse.Prevention is the first step, and it begins with education about the signs and prevention of child sexual abuse. In partnership with Chicago Public Schools, Rush University Nursing Students provide sexual education to students in underserved communities as part of their public health nursing practicum.
