Villas - "What happens in this house stays in this house." This is such a red light that has been told to kids for years. As a child I was told not to tell. If your home life is open and honest and free of abuse and illegal activity, then there is no reason to silence your child. Unfortunately mine wasn't a storybook life of love and laughter. It was far from a safe haven. And I, like many other children kept my mouth closed. I was sexually and physically abused for years but there was no one you could turn to back then. I repeatedly attempted suicide and could never forget the helplessness I felt.
