For those who may be coming to terms with sexual abuse issues or who may have been “triggered” by the Foley Scandal there are support organizations in place. You can start with the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests.
I’m a survivor of clergy abuse. Though sometimes it seems really dark and you don’t know how you’ll get through the day, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Bruce Springsteen’s music and a lot of really good people taught me that.
Update: If you’re a family member, loved-one, or close friend of a survivor there is support for you too. Supporters are always welcome at SNAP.
