Jean, a “psychologist-in-training” posted a message in the forums about finding survivors of physical child abuse by a parent and/or caregiver as part of her dissertation. If you’re interested you can read more about it in her post, and contact her.
Reposted from my Sports Blog. As a survivor of child abuse, I’m just not sure where to start with this whole Adrian Peterson story. I’ve been thinking about it all weekend, and trying to figure out what to say about it, and I think finally I do have some thoughts. First off, let me just…
As I wrote yesterday on my tech blog, I’m seriously feeling the need to work on some techie projects. I think I just need the outlet and the challenge to balance the non-challenges I have with work right now. Also, like I did on that site, I wanted to give you all the opportunity to…
