Speakers at public forum share stories of childhood sexual abuse and search for healing
Survivors reach out to others who have been abused
During a public forum in Little Falls May 2, four men shared their stories. Stories of trust betrayed and pain and shame endured in silence.
Three of the men experienced their betrayal at the hands of their parish priest. The fourth, at the hands of a foster parent.
"For 35 years I wondered why God had forsaken me," said Bob Schwiderski of Wayzata. "It took a group of Christian men to convince me he hadn't."
