MadMONDAY - Meeting Milestones After Incest

My sister, in her upcoming guest videoblog for next week's Tell TUESDAY, mentions a milestone her daughter has recently met - one my sister wasn't sure would ever happen after "the incident". My daughter, Evie, is not there yet (at this particular milestone ).  I often wonder about it, but am not too disappointed it hasn't happened yet. Any guesses?

It is maddening trying to figure out what is *because of* the fact of the abuse, and what is just *normal* behavior/milestones, isn't it?  It doesn't stop us parents from trying, though. Nope.

Mad MONDAY.

What milestones are you happy/relieved to see happening in your family?



Do *you* have a childhood sexual abuse story to share?
