The abuse started very covertly with a walk with the dogs, a cup of coffee, a massage. Quickly it escalated to inappropriate touching and then full-blown sexual assault lasting for three years.
In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', we are joined by Janet Simmons, who bravely shares her personal story of surviving childhood sexual abuse. Born in Japan in the mid-1950s, Janet was subjected to abuse by Jack Moyer, a well-known marine biologist and teacher. The abuse began subtly, with walks, coffee, and massages, but escalated into full sexual assault over three years.
Janet recounts the difficult journey of coping with the trauma, including battling anorexia and a toxic relationship with an older man. Janet's story is not just one of survival but also of hope and transformation. As the CEO of Hope Ministries in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, she dedicates her life to supporting others affected by generational poverty and trauma. Hope Ministries provides workforce training and retention services, helping individuals reclaim their self-worth and rebuild their lives.
The podcast also highlights the mission of NASCA, an organization committed to addressing issues related to childhood abuse and trauma. NASCA educates the public and offers healing resources for adult survivors, emphasizing the importance of overcoming societal taboos around discussing such sensitive topics. Janet's courage in sharing her story provides inspiration for others who have endured abuse. Her message is clear: healing is possible, and every person is worthy of support and love.
As Janet continues her work with Hope Ministries, she stands as a testament to resilience and the power of community in recovery. Listeners are encouraged to visit Janet's blog for more details on her journey and to consider inviting her to speak at events, where she shares insights and fosters a dialogue on healing from trauma.
