From Heartache to Hope: A Mother's Journey Through Sexual Abuse and Advocacy

I'm so proud of my son for battling this, this darkness, and he wrote plenty of poems, he wrote plenty of prose, and I'm starting to give it to the you know pro-life people.
Imagine navigating the stormy seas of supporting a child who has endured sexual abuse, only to face the harsh reality of their own predatory behavior. In this powerful episode of 'Journey On', Earlene, a determined mother, opens up to host D.J. Burr about her son James' tumultuous journey. James' story, first shared in Episode Eight, is a harrowing tale of early childhood molestation that led to his own harmful actions.
Earlene felt compelled to share her side, providing a raw and honest account of the emotional rollercoaster she has been on. She speaks candidly about her battles with various systems that have failed to provide the care James needs, and her own personal history with sexual abuse. Earlene's story is one of pain, resilience, and unwavering advocacy. As she fights for her son's rehabilitation, she also confronts her own past traumas and the emotional toll it takes on her family.
This episode is a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding sexual abuse and the importance of seeking help and support. Earlene's courage in sharing her story offers hope and inspiration to others facing similar battles, highlighting the need for stronger support systems and laws to protect victims and their families.
