I haven't told a lot of people (or maybe I have...), but I'm currently doing volunteer training for the Center for Women and Children. Legally, they have to do 40 hours of training, so we do 8 weeks of five hour sessions

on the flip side, there are also a lot of churches that have ministries devoted towards counseling & loving people who have been abused and getting them away from their abusive relationships

I'm glad that after reading this post, the most important thing you had to say was a defense of your own ideologies.

i think nz said the most important thing already..?

Sarcasm.
Also, I'm not saying that what Ryan said was important, I'm saying that he considered what he said to be the most important thing for him to say in response to the post.

I would love to volunteer for the Center. I have an extra day open this summer + weekends, so I may look into it.

It's startling how little information filters down to teach children about this. And I feel like, if children knew that these things were wrong from the get-go (even though it's scary. even though we want to protect them from the outside world), it would save a whole lot of hurt down the line.

I think you're doing a good thing. And raising awareness is, most definitely, important. ♥
