In this profoundly moving and powerful episode, I sit down with Sherri Gratton as she shares her story of unimaginable heartbreak and bravery. When Sherri's 18-year-old daughter came to her with the devastating revelation that her father had been sexually abusing her, Sherrie’s world shattered. In an instant, Sherri did what many struggle with—she believed her daughter without hesitation and took immediate action to seek justice.
Sherri walks us through the emotional and painful journey of processing the red flags she missed, her feelings of guilt as a mother, and the harrowing battle to have her husband sent to jail for his crimes. Her strength in navigating the legal process, going through a difficult divorce, and putting her daughter's safety and healing first is a testament to her unbreakable spirit.
This episode sheds light on the painful reality of sexual abuse, especially within close family and friends. Sherri’s story serves as a reminder that these atrocities often happen behind closed doors, where trust is deeply violated. Through her experience, we bring awareness to the importance of believing survivors and taking immediate steps to protect and support them.
Join us as Sherri bravely shares her truth and inspires other mothers and families to listen, believe, and act when it comes to protecting their children from abuse.
