In this film, six victims of maternal incest powerfully convey their nightmarish child hoods. "It is common that young children do not have the words to tell other people" says Michelle Elliott, psychologist and author of Female Sexual Abuse of Children. The abuse often begins in infancy when children do not understand what their mother is doing. They lose hope that anyone will stop it and cannot talk about it until decades later. Often, physical violence accompanies the sexual abuse. From the age of two for eleven years, Lucy was abused by her mother who tried to smother her with a pillow when she refused to submit. The mother began abusing Lucy's younger sister when Lucy reached thirteen. Paul could not share his memories of abuse and feelings of abandonment with anyone. His secret dragged him into depression, hallucinations and institutionalization. The psychologist Monique Tardif of the Institute Philippe Pinet in Montreal says many incestuous mothers were abused by their fathers and later treat their own children as rivals for their husbands love. She believes sexual abuse by mothers is much more common than formerly believed. The trauma is very deep and the victims often suffer for the rest of their lives. Ironically, many victims continue to seek maternal love long after they have been in therapy and have articulated the awful truth. 001356119 521__ $$aFor High School; College; Adult audiences. 001356119 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001356119 650_0 $$aChild sexual abuse$$xPsychological aspects. 001356119 650_0 $$aIncest. 001356119 650_0 $$aMothers. 001356119 650_0 $$aWomen child molesters. 001356119 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001356119 7001_ $$aMessier, Nicole. 001356119 7761_ $$cOriginal$$w(OCoLC)747798398 001356119 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1650450 001356119 901__ $$aASP1650450/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25298$$tbiblio 001356119 905__ $$uadmin 001356119 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356119$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356119 944__ $$a1785083 001356119 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001356119 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356119 980__ $$aBIB 001356119 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356119 983__ $$aOnline
