An infant is a child under the age of one. I have not been able to find more resources, but wanted to post this because I think it is an important topic and hope that there will be more to add to this page.
Thanks for these. I only could handle reading one link, but it was interesting.
Good and healing thoughts to you and congratulations on your bike.

Hi Butterfly,
You’re welcome.
I found these articles through a message board and from another member there asking if there were any resources. Looking around online I could only find the two articles. Reflecting on the topic recently I remembered two novels that cover the topic. It is a topic that I am interested in learning more about, as I am a survivor of infant sexual abuse.
Good and healing thoughts to you.

Cartharsis for me was writing my own book. And actually starting to talk about it. The one thing that for sure doesn’t help healing is 50 years of silence. Thanks for the links.

Hi Marilyn,
Good for you. I agree with you that silence does not help in healing. And you are welcome.

there’s a book that i’ve read that talks about it (it’s nonfiction, the author is a therapist who talks about her own process- it’s intense but helpful) called “A Shining Affliction” by Annie Rogers). She also has another book that touchs on that but is more about children/teens who were abused but cannot remember it- some of that was in infancy- that’s “The Unsayable”)
