Another reason victims keep their abuse secret is they think it will dishonor their family or friend. I explain how that, in fact, is the lie. It is the mistreatment that is dishonoring, not the messenger. Seeking the help of others is the honorable thing to do.
Telling what is true, ultimately benefits the relationship. It is only in living real that you will have the opportunity to thrive in your relationships.
The lie is that ‘keeping violations hidden is the trusting thing to do.’
