It’s not just you. The network site is not loading for anyone. I know that it’s not working, but I do not have any idea what’s causing it.
Unfortunately, this being my last week at my current job, and next week being when I move to another state, I’m also at a loss for time to investigate what’s going on and get it fixed!
I will look into it as time allows, and post an update when I know more. I’m sorry for those of you who have been checking in there regularly!
Pin I could not heal until I unlearned that my abuse was something I somehow caused. Unlearning that opened up the possibility of learning something different, namely, that I was abused because someone decided to abuse me. Did that happen overnight? Of course not! Unlearning is a process, and the more closely we identify with a belief, the more difficult it becomes to unlearn it. So many survivors learn at a very early age to keep secrets, that bad things will happen if they tell anyone.
People who’ve never had that belief drilled into their young minds wonder why victims wait decades to come forward and tell their stories. That’s why! That belief is hard to unlearn. Many of us grew up with silence being the thing that prevents the abuse from being worse. Why should we start discussing it? If you tried to tell someone as a child and got shut down, this only gets worse.
I’m closing up last year’s business today. I just went to Prevent Child Abuse America and donated the $35 that had been raised this year through Amazon links and CafePress referrals Thank you to everyone for making that possible. I’ve also renewed this domain for another year, so here’s to hoping this site can be…
Hi there, remember me? 🙂 OK so it hasn’t been that long since I posted anything over here, but I can’t help but feel a little like I’ve been neglecting things over here. It’s true, I’ve been working head-down in technology for a while now, and really haven’t had time to put together too many…
The second thing was that so many of the things your kids need when you find out they’ve been abused are the same things that adult survivors need as well. We need to be believed, we need to feel safe, we need to know that we are worthy of protection, and we need to be heard. Those things are a significant part of healing, regardless of our age. If you have a loved one of any age who is trying to heal from sexual abuse, these are good things to remember, and you should read the whole thing!
Pin Last night I had the opportunity to attend an event on the campus of LSU and hear Aly Raisman, Olympic gold medalist, and sexual abuse survivor, share her story with students. I wanted to recap some of what she had to say as a survivor in the spotlight, both because of her athletic fame, but…
According to a recent study, many of them do. About half, in fact agreed with this statement: “With just Bible study and prayer, ALONE, people with serious mental illness like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia could overcome mental illness.” Now, I hesitate to quote from any study like this and use it to pass judgement…
