Why Are These Children Silent?

from Country Crocked: I Can't Believe It's Not Better Podcast · host Cousins Unfiltered

Children are rarely silent because nothing happened. They are silent because speaking feels unsafe, pointless, or dangerous. In this episode, we explore why children minimize harm, compare their pain to others, and normalize what shouldn't happen—not as denial, but as survival. Understanding silence is often the first step toward breaking it.Trigger warning: childhood SA, domestic and emotional violence, and addiction.
