Jenny’s Story (Above)

“My daughter Jenny is only nine years old, but even she knows that hurting people is wrong. After her abusive stepfather left, Jenny still had nightmares about him. My once cheerful child became withdrawn and fearful that the abuser would return. My counselor at Hope’s Door suggested that I bring Jenny to see the children’s counselor. My daughter was shy at first, but after a few sessions “playing” and talking with her counselor, Jenny opened up. She says she doesn’t feel so afraid any more.”
