How does a parent’s unwanted sexual behavior impact their kids? Often the traumatic impact of betrayal on the kids is underrated and very few resources exist to support them. Taylor was only 16 when she first discovered her dad’s use of online dating sites. It horrified her and she began acting out sexually. Nearly 10 years later she was thrust into a major crisis due to dad’s acting out and mom’s betrayal trauma. A few months later Taylor walked into the very first Daughters in the Battle meeting- the safest place for teen and young adult daughters to get the support they desperately need after the impact of sexual betrayal on their family. You’ll learn so much from hearing Taylor honestly share her experience and the relief she found from not having to cope all alone. For more information about Daughters in the Battle which meets over zoom the first Tuesday of every month, subscribe to our email list at living-truth.org
