It is said that the best teachers are those who have lived and experienced the subject they are in charge of teaching. That is certainly true of situations that mold our lives and make us who we are as adults. When an organization is looking for someone to do a presentation regarding the cycle of violence they may be looking to find child abuse speakers who have lived the cycle and survived.
These adult children are survivors and many have endured the worst kinds of mistreatment imaginable. Many have been beaten, starved or sexually violated from very young ages. Through living with the abuses dealt to them they have learned how to control their environment emotionally so that it is not as painful as it once may have been.
For many years authorities felt that what happened inside a mans home was his business and as a result abuses visited on children and spouses were not reported. Today this unspoken rule can be found in homes of abusers. The children do not speak of the danger they are in because it may bring even harsher punishment if discovered. This danger may come from biological parents, step-parents, siblings or even the foster homes designed to keep them safe.
Some survivors go on to be abusers themselves and perpetuate the same treatment on children or spouses of their own. Others use their life experiences to help others who may be in the same or similar situations. These individuals have been fortunate enough to find help with understanding what has happened to them and to channel that knowledge into programs designed to help others.
By speaking of trauma as well as the successes they have experienced in their lives they hope to motivate those in their audience to follow their path to recovery. Their goal is inspiring others and showing them that they do not need to continue suffering the left over effects of childhood.
By using the abuses of their life to become stronger they have been able to create lives lead by self reliant actions, pursuing literacy and the means to improve their lives and the lives in their communities and society as a whole. By using the strength and tools used as children they share the way they have overcome learned behaviors and reached the goals they have reached today.
Many speakers use this knowledge to educate police and other protective agencies by doing presentations at special training events or conferences attended by social services workers throughout the nation. This problem is one of the invisible crimes that takes place at home where no one is a witness except the victims. Through their insight they hope to offer new solutions for those involved in preventing this problem. One invaluable service they can provide is helping to identify red flag behaviors that protective agencies may not be aware of in children or family dynamics.
Because family violence is so under reported advocates and especially survivors feel it is their duty to make the public aware of the tragedies that happen every day behind closed doors. They also have a desire to show others how to find the way out of the personal hell they may be living in.
