I made this picture in art therapy around twenty years ago. This memory of my grandfather molesting me was hounding me, intruding on my mind when I least wanted to think about it. It helped to get it out on paper. The intrusive memory quieted down. It helps to share it. My grandfather's sexual problems are a shameful family secret, but it's not my shame and I will not keep it a secret. It can not be a secret when someone molests a child. |
