Yup, you read it right, 200 courageous men from all walks of life stand together and came forward to say they were all molested during their childhood on the Oprah (originally aired on November, 2010). A very sensitive yet engaging and touching episode. Stories like the twin brothers who were sexually abused by priests for years and a son who were also molested by his own biological father are horrific enough but the most alarming is the reality that these are all happening in real life, as mentioned on the show, an estimated of 1 out of 6 men was molested and 90% of child molesters target the children they know.
Tyler Perry was also there who, few weeks before this special episode, were on the Oprah show and told he was molested when he was a kid.
Watch the entire video here:
I wanna take this beautiful definition of FORGIVENESS and I quote:
"Forgiveness... is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different. It's accepting the past for what it was and using "this moment" and "this time" to help yourself move forward."
