The Weight Of The Unspoken Word

The Popehat Report

@Popehat I have appreciated for years your willingness to talk publicly about this. For many of us, this seems like something not to be talked about, something no one else is going through - something shameful and private.

That keeps us from seeking help. I've needed help with it more than once, and I'm glad I found it.
