Someone linked to this blog

Someone linked to this blog and had a comment about it. Unfortunately the site that links to it is in Danish and none of the online translators do a very adequate job of telling me what this person is saying! I can take a guess, and I’m fairly sure it’s complimentary, but if anyone wants to give me an accurate translation, of this I’d appreciate it!

Her er et par eksempler på, hvordan personlighed kan gøre en blog værd at læse: Survivor of Child Abuse, Scoble, Tinka.

  • What’s So Toxic About Positivity Anyway?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    This is really my biggest problem. Sometimes, sadness, grief, anger, and uncertainty are entirely appropriate, so why are we telling people to ignore those emotions?

    Look at it this way, when we watched George Floyd’s death on video, we all felt something, and it probably wasn’t all that pleasant. Or, when we read the overwhelming number of deaths from COVID, we felt something. Maybe we all didn’t feel exactly the same thing, but we all felt something, and maybe most of all we felt a need to do something about it. If we had simply flipped the page and focused on what we are grateful for, we weren’t changing anything, we aren’t doing the things we need to do to keep ourselves safe and well. We are just ignoring it.

  • Sexual assault has happened to this many other guys, and almost nobody talks about it?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    It pains me to know that so many survivors spend their adult lives in isolation and shame because they don’t know other survivors around them. This is why telling our stories when we can, is so important. No one should spend most of their adult life ashamed of surviving abuse. Those of us who are in a position to share our story and the statistics about abuse can change that. You can change that by sharing those stories and those statistics, shedding light on a subject we spend too much time trying to avoid. That light saves lives.

  • Off to a Good Start

    The Child Abuse Social Network is off to a pretty decent start, some 20 members and some good conversations. I have noticed though, that a number of folks are getting to the front page, prompted to create a profile and leaving. I know that requiring you to join the network before you can read anything…

  • What Are We Unlearning from Childhood Anyway?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    These all ring so true to either my own experience or the experiences of other survivors I have known through the years. One of the biggest hurdles we have to clear before we can really even begin to have a semi-normal adult life is believing that the way we grew up is the way all relationships work. Even all these years later, I still have to remind myself that what I do is good enough, at home and at work. Or that it’s OK to emotionally connect with new people. It’s really difficult to unlearn those lessons from childhood, and yet it’s so freeing to realize that what happened to us, wasn’t because any of these were true. What happened to us was the result of someone else’s actions that are completely unrelated to who we are, or what we deserved.
