I watched Theoren Fleury being interviewed which aired on "The Fifth Estate" where he shares his story on being sexually abused. I admire his courage and strength for exposing this taboo subject that we men most often never talk about. Also, the next two friday episodes of Oprah are dedicated to men in mass number standing together and admitting they were all molested.
Yes, it does take courage to talk about sexual abuse. At all stages of life, the challenges multiply for those who continue burying it. Letting it out isn't easy, but in the long run, and often in the "short run," too, it is so very worth it. I hope the Fridays on Oprah is helpful to many.
