Notes:	This article, written in the form of a narrative based on the author's childhood experiences in the US, explores the implications of silence for people who experience and witness violence. The author considers that talking about the abuse can facilitate the healing process. Acknowledging abused people's experiences and feelings assists them in creating a sense of identity and challenges their perceptions of the uncommon-ness of victimhood. The act of disclosure also contributes to protecting others who might be at risk. By breaking the silence we might deal with the violence of the culture in which we live.
