Parents who sexually abuse their children blame those children that they seduced them. After treating victims of childhood sexual abuse, children, the guilt about ‘causing’ the abuse is a big issue therapeutically. So, it’s not just control. It’s sexualizing children in many ways.

It’s been one of the most heart-wrenching aspects of my clinical practice. Haunting.
