I was hiding from the world and myself, daily, every day. I just didn't know it. One day as I was walking through my small apartment in a small town in California, the \"Oprah Winfrey Show\" was on the television. She was speaking about the sexual abuse she had experienced at an early age. I was spellbound  Was it possible that someone as famous as she was had a background with a similar \"secret as me?\" That day I realized for the first time that I was not the only one who had been suffering in silence. This hidden, dirty, shameful, unspoken subject had only been spoken by me twice in my life. Both times that I spoke of the \"secret\" were to my young friends, and some trauma had just occurred. I was suffering, but not sure that anyone could tell. Not that I hid it well. People including family members just don't want to see this kind of abuse as they will have to deal with it. My mother simply ignored it. I finally accepted that fact when I was in my forties. Following Oprah via her television show over the years has brought so many victims to their own awareness concerning this issue. Thankfully, I was one of those who was helped by her reaching out to other victims of abuse during her television shows. --Sue Brazeal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Brazeal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0578214210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780578214214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Brazeal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.60d","brand":"Sue Brazeal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44715584159999,"sku":"9780578214214","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f318cfe-35f2-47e4-a21b-1a6dd163b52d.jpg?v=1705672821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/overcoming-smut-sue-brazeal-9780578214214","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
