Child Abuse Victim Anna Yves Story & Recovery

It is common for victims of sexual assault to wait some time before telling someone. When the person was assaulted as a child, he or she may wait years or decades. The reasons for this are numerous: victims may want to deny the fact that someone they trusted could do this to them; they may want to just put it behind them; they may believe the myth that they caused the assault by their behavior; or they may fear how other people will react to the truth. Anna Yves is a retired nurse, newlywed, mother, and grandmother living a happy and fulfilling life in Washington State. Listen to her story and how she has coped as a child abuse survivor.
