My favorite Christmas movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life”. I appreciate
the scene where George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) hugs his home’s creaky old
staircase banister, giving thanks and gratitude for the home’s
beautiful imperfections and for his life. And this is where my story
begins…
From the late 70’s into the 80’s, a priest from the Ft. Wayne diocese sexually abused me, starting at age 12. To my shame, this went on for 10 years. The abuse occurred in the church rectory, school residence, camping trips, and gym clubs. He knew this innocent boy was anxious, depressed, and afraid.
