I look back at my mindset as a teenager and I'm like there's no way I could really have consented at the time, because there was a huge power imbalance and I wasn't making informed decisions but like I wasn't making decisions with a sound mind.
Ever wondered how someone copes with trauma while trying to protect a loved one from the truth? Sarah Sterling, a YouTube personality, dives into her story on 'Mental Illness Happy Hour'. At just 16, she found herself entangled with a 24-year-old singer she met at a convention, an experience she now recognizes as statutory rape. But that's just the beginning of her journey.
Sarah opens up about the complexities of having an overprotective mother whose anxiety she felt compelled to shield from harsh realities. This episode offers a raw look at the delicate balance of setting boundaries with loved ones and finding your own path to healing.
