The community is so holy and classy I can not believe it.

I really liked your letter to your father after he replied to you. It was really powerful. Your example of your glasses also really brought home the overall dysfunctionality and abuse you and I most other survivors went through. They were not normal people who abused us. The sexual abuse was just one aspect that destroyed us.<br /> Kol Hakavod. You deserve " The Purple Heart".<br /> <br />Ronit Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367380195716157771.post-75931498373982833952013-05-30T11:45:09.960-07:002013-05-30T11:45:09.960-07:00Judah,

Thank you so much for your public support...Howard, <br />Thank you so much for your public support! You are so right, the abandonment by my parents and family is so much more damaging than the actual abuse..which was pretty bad.Genendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929548265107859942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367380195716157771.post-41340754502250654972013-05-30T07:16:53.261-07:002013-05-30T07:16:53.261-07:00Oh Genendy,

We've watched this sickness continue on in Baltimore, from managing the BY swimming pool without certified life-guards, to medicating children without a doctor's over-sight, to physical abuse of students, to molestation of students, the list of abuses is staggering. That the Rabbonim and lay leaders of the city have let it go on for so long is inexcusable. To think that Baltimore rabbonim's own wives have first-hand experience with the mis-deeds that Eliezer Eisgrau deed with your aunt Esther and have not done anything to stop his influence on other children is shocking. The silence is deafening. But we continue to work and pray to right the wrongs done to so many children, many now adults, here in Baltimore. Thank you for communicating with us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577994342707177637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367380195716157771.post-43587387356624048232013-05-29T14:07:34.144-07:002013-05-29T14:07:34.144-07:00You are very brave to tell your story -- hopefully...You are very brave to tell your story -- hopefully it will help to raise the awareness of the continued existence of early childhood trauma in all communities. As a psychotherapist in Baltimore primarily outside of the Jewish community, I have heard this story from many men and women whose lives were damaged by those who were supposed to love and protect them. There are no excuses for childhood trauma or for family members and community professionals and religious leaders not to take accusations seriously -- but there is healing -- and you have taken a very important step by speaking out loud. I believe that the failure of family members to believe their child and to take their statements seriously is worse, in the context of healing over time, than the act(s) of childhood trauma. There are times when children make statements for attention -- but even then this indicates a cry for help that must not be ignored. As they say, "When there is smoke, there is fire." Something is going on that must be addressed when a child tells their parent something is wrong.<br /><br />The experience of an inappropriate touch may heal but the failure of a parent to protect their child lingers forever. I wish you success in your recovery.<br /><br />Dr. Howard (Chaim) Eisenberg<br />www.mycareconnection.org<br />Dr. Howard Eisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292104061137280386noreply@blogger.com
