[Content Warning]: Child abuse and neglect, graphic descriptions of sexual assault and rape, suicide attempts, eating disorders, and child sexual abuse
On today's episode, Jan continues her conversation with David Weeks, who bravely recounts his story of neglect at home and abuse elsewhere—a harrowing journey of being groomed through the internet by a pedophile and being raped by other pedophiles and the long term impacts on his physical and emotional health. He ends the episode by speaking to Jan about how he began his healing journey and has worked to overcome and move forward through therapy, education, and writing. He now advocates and advises other survivors on his Instagram.
