New link

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I got an email this morning from Neil Ahern, author of a book titled AN INCH FROM MURDER My Life As A Male Victim Of Sexual Child Abuse. That link will take you to an explanation of the book and of Neil himself, but he has also started up a weblog which, in his words:

I have put this Blog together because in 1987 and for years afterward – I never attained the goal of creating a self-help group for the male victim of sexual child abuse. Yet this forum need not be – just for the male victim – nor – for just survivors of sexual abuse. All abuse is wrong. I hope today – as I hoped in 1987 – that I can be of help.

Please feel free to join and contribute to this Weblog and/or comment on the entries that you read here.

That sounds very close to the reason I started doing this website, and have hoped that people would be able to get something out of reading, contributing, posting in the forums, whatever they can get. Given the similar goals, how could I not link to him?

  • How Shame Keeps Us Disconnected

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The context for this quote is a handful of stories where someone felt ashamed of an event or something that they’d allowed people to believe about them that wasn’t true. Marisa goes on to talk about how when we have something we won’t discuss, it creates a separation from other people, and that separation can take away from humanness. Our interactions with other people are blocked off. We know we aren’t sharing our whole selves with the people we should be. That block can protect us from potential pain, but it also prevents us from having all the benefits of having close relationships with other humans.

    Doesn’t that sound exactly like growing up keeping our abuse secret?

    We grow up with shame around something that was never our fault. That shame prevents us from fully connecting with other human beings. That lack of connection harms our mental health as adults. We struggle to heal without one of the most powerful tools in our arsenal as human beings, other people. We keep our secrets and hide our shame, meaning we will never know the healing power of being accepted and loved by those who know our whole selves.

  • A Misunderstanding – What I Assumed Would Be Freeing Seems to be Difficult

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    As I said, that’s the good news. It wasn’t your fault. You didn’t ask to be abused any more than a woman asks to be sexually harassed on the street or a minority asks to be discriminated against, and there wasn’t any action you took to cause it. The decision to abuse was 100% on the abuser. 

    I also understand that this is bad news. Some people decide to hurt others based on their desires and ideas. There is no other reason and no promise that it will be just. It isn’t easy to let go of that ideal when it’s been drilled into us from an early age. Letting go means a complete reinterpretation of the world and our place in it. It’s hard work to figure out how to live our lives if something we’ve clung to since childhood isn’t true.

    Recently, in conversation with my massage therapist, she mentioned to me that any time she is working on me and feels like I’m stressed, thinking about work, or just not allowing myself to relax, she knows that simply rubbing my palm will immediately help me relax my body and she can get back to work….

    Carnival Against Child Abuse – Irish Heritage Edition

    I’ll be hosting the March edition of the Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse later this month, and given my own Irish heritage, and this being the month we celebrate the Irish with St. Patrick’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to make the theme of this year one that speaks to the Irish part…

    Why Public Speaking Skills Could Help Us with Tough Conversations

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 7 minutes

    Last night, during the #Sexabusechat on Twitter, the topic was disclosing – the fear, the struggle, and the results. That’s a huge subject with a ton of nuance, and sure enough, it inspired a lot of good conversation. Toward the end of it, however, a thought occurred to me in response to a tweet from another…

    You are a terrific guy for giving me such a nice entry and linking to me. It’s fine folks like you – that will help make more people aware of the plight of the abused child.

    And it isn’t so much that I concentrate on the aspects of sexual child abuse – but moreso – the lasting effects of emotional abuse – that imho is far more lasting than any physical abuse that I received.

    I pray that more people will discover your site.

    Best regards,

    Neil
