We feel like we're putting all of our faith in this woman. We haven't been successful in finding information to help us understand what we're all trying to accomplish. If you can advise us in any way, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
Here are a few additional resources for you:
- http://www.tcavjohn.com/ This is Dr. Toni Cavanagh Johnson's website. She's a therapist and expert in childhood sexual abuse who has written a lot on the topic. She has many resources available that would be of great help to you.
- "When the Bough Breaks: A Helping Guide for Parents of Sexually Abused Children," by Aphrodite Matasakis
- The Clearinghouse for Family Violence This Canadian site is very comprehensive regarding the sexual abuse of kids.
You will feel better about any treatment choices that you make for your son if you seek out other experts in childhood sexual abuse and parents who've been in your situation. I know that this continues to be a confusing, draining, and frightening process. Trust your instincts and act on them if you don't feel comfortable about the treatment that your son receives.
