When people dismiss children’s concerns. Maybe to adults is not a big deal, but to kids it does matter. I make an effort to pay attention and listen when a child tells me something.
I also feel particularly passionate about this, as felt totally dismissed by nearly every adult in my life as a kid. That shit feels so defeating and isolating. it can seriously fuck you up.

This. Sexual abuse goes ignored because of this attitude in parents
Absolutely and lets add that some children only disclose once to a trusted adult who might not always pay attention. It breaks my heart.

So at some point it stopped for you?
I wish. lol. no, I just became an adult.
It is. Sending you an internet Hug. You matter and should have had someone who listened to you back then. 💜
Something I sometimes forget as well. Great reply.
