New Site for Male Victims of CSA
Got an email from the admin about a new site specifically for male victims of childhood sexual abuse, Betrayed Boys. Looks like they are just getting started over there, but if you’re interested, go check it out!

I’ve seen this possibility since 2001, when I started blogging. The possibility that someone, somewhere, dealing with mental health issues, or overcoming abuse, would hop online looking for someone, anyone, who understands that they are dealing with.
We’ve never had more ways to connect with each other, even during a pandemic. Why not use them, and why not be the person who connects others online?
Well this really changes things. What if I told you that “normal” actually is dealing with a mental health problem at some point in your life? “New research, from our lab and from others around the world, however, suggests mental illnesses are so common that almost everyone will develop at least one diagnosable mental disorder…
“The thing about getting out there though is that it requires you to be your own person, it requires you to rely on yourself for your needs which is a skill that’s valuable for anyone but especially valuable for people with mental illness.” This is something I have learned over the years as I have…

It doesn’t sound like much. At the same time, we see so little of this in our daily interactions that it doesn’t take much to stand out as a good partner, friend, or boss. The bar is not set very high, but it does require sitting still with someone and focusing on them for that time.Â
How often can most of us say we do that?Â

I find that your website is a great contribution to adult survivors of Child Abuse. I am estatic to find out about the resources available to the male gender. I have spoken to many in our state who were abused. It is so sad that support is not as evident and spoken about as the female gender. I will share the link and do appreciate the work that you do. Thank you:)
