Yes, I'm in agreement with you that childhood sexual abuse cannot completely heal and stays with the person for their entire life.

Obviously, a survivor of sexual abuse shouldn't be expected to reveal that about themselves to every new person whom they meet. So do we just assume that childhood sexual abuse was present in someone, by default?

And, even if we're making that assumption...at what point is the pain or vitriol that they transfer onto OTHER people no longer acceptable or justifiable? At what point is it appropriate for someone to stand up for themselves against the rage of a complete stranger? Or, should we assume that a majority of people are survivors of child abuse PERIOD, so we should always remain silent whenever they lash out at us?
