Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2939

Q & A call-in discussion with a survivor-professional, using an OPEN MIKE forum. We'll feature a survivor-professional co-host who'll field topics brought to the episode by you, the listener. ~~ Tonight the special co-host will be Greg DeVaux from Mashpee, Massachusetts. "At 18 I was involved in a fatal auto accident," he says, "breaking several bones including foot, tibia, pelvis, lower back 2 vertebrae, neck 2 vertebrae. I was paralyzed from the neck down, facing amputation and death. Death it was, my spiritual body left my physical body. I was comforted by God, who returned me to my physical body and restored the feeling back in my legs." God had him walking in 3 months, and by 9 months he was running three miles. "At age 27, I  unknowingly married a narcissist for 24 years, having 4 children." The only narcissist he knew was Hitler, but that was extreme. Greg went through identity theft, bankruptcy and divorce. "When I read about the 10 traits of a narcissist, she was a 10 out of 10, lying, cheating, stealing, blaming it all on me or the kids." She could do nothing wrong. Turned all their kids against him. Today he's married to a new wife, and runs a carpentry business, building new homes and remodeling others. He's presently living in Cape Cod. ~~ On these episodes we welcome various co-hosts, survivor-professionals who'll assist in fielding questions and lead a variety of topics suggested by our call-in participants. Their trauma-informed perspectives as survivor-professionals will help them guide discussions on the issues of child abuse, trauma and healthy human sexuality that spring from questions and topics brought to us by our listeners. ~~ Everyone's invited to engage on tonight's show. ~~ Please visit the NAASCA.org web site.
