 Sexual
Exploitation Victim/Survivor
Resources for Family Members and Friends
From "On the Edge
of Darknes : Conversations About Conquering Depression"
by Kathy Cronkite, pp. 213-214, in her chapter on support of family
and friends:
"'What's wrong?' 'Why don't you get out and do something?' 'You'd feel better if
you got up and took a shower.' When I've started down that long black spiral into
despression, such well-intentioned comments are more hurtful than helpful. The first two
simply have no answer, and all three require answers or action of which I'm incapable and
thus feed my feeling of hopelessness. The words that are most welcome are 'What can I do
to help?' Sometimes I need a hug, or someone to do a specific task that I feel is
overwhelming, or just a quiet presence in the room, someone not trying to 'fix' the
situation or supply answers or suggestions for improvement. Sometimes I just need someone
to be there, so the dark isn't quite so big."
