good for him to be able to talk about it.
he's an amazing actor and a lot of kids and adults who have experienced abuse i think find it a bit inspiring to see someone who has went through it, talk about it and rise up out of it.

Thanks for putting this up, Perez. With abuse being an epidemic in our society, it's SO important for people to see influential people who have gone through it as well, and that they are not alone. Keep stories on this topic coming!

I was reading earlier today about Marlee Matlin and the abuse she went through. It's so sad and so evil what people will do to others when they think they can get away with it.

I think everyone should read this. He's a very strong man, and I'm so glad that he was able to work through his issues, and can publicly talk about it AND he takes the high road by not revealing the name of his abuser. I was abused as a child and it took over a decade for me to be able to even admit that it had happened, let alone begin to work on the problems it had caused.
Perez, thank you for posting this. I don't care what people say about you, you're a strong, GOOD person, and by bringing this to people's minds, forces us to face what is easiest to avoid. Keep it up bb. love, Lea
