child abuse

 what's the big deal, anyway?

Tom,
I think any time a child is being abused, it's a big deal, you as a child
are no exception to me. For one thing children often can't help themselves.
For another they're often harmed. Maybe you've outgrown and/or dealt with
whatever happened to you, but many people have a difficult time.

I had a friend once who had a very loveless childhood. The only one who
loved her was her grandpa whose life was just as loveless, so he abused her.
They both got a little warmth. What a time she had with herself. She loved
and abhorred her grandfather at the same time. It was like a dog trying to
bite its tail.
