I was reminded this evening about a site that an online friend of mine had put up to help tell his story and support other abuse survivors. I hadn’t been there in a while and it was nice to see the forum and everything else still going strong. You can take a look at it here. Keep up the good work!
Pin I heard someone on the radio use this phrase to describe herself as we were out grabbing a few last-minute items to assist with riding out Hurricane Ida. She was talking about evacuating her home in New Orleans at 10:30 last night, driving to Alabama to seek shelter, and then doing the show remotely from there.
Here, we aren’t in as much of a need to evacuate, we are further from the coast and the storm surge, but it’s still going to be a long, dangerous couple of days. So, we are spending a lot of time, and both mental and physical energy, preparing to possibly be without power, for needing to leave if the house is damaged, and so forth. It’s a lot. And that is on top of all the mental energy necessary to deal with large COVID outbreaks we’ve had in recent weeks, all of the recent events in world news, and the various personal and professional challenges that we are also dealing with.

Pin As most of you probably already know, there has been a Facebook page tied to this site for a number of years now, and a large number of you like or follow the new posts there. That’s great, and I thank you! In recent years, however, Facebook has made it really difficult to actually reach…
Lately, something on this site has been keeping me a little busier than normal. There seems to be some reason that Google has stopped directing people to the home page, and listing this site in it’s search results even when you search for the URL: childabusesurvivor.net. I won’t bore you with the details, I’ve already…
Pin This was the story of 2023 for me. I was sitting in the car, trying to catch my breath, my face swollen, sunglasses no longer completely on my face, lamenting what I should have done differently.
I’ve been reading blogs written by survivors for quite awhile now and one of the things that has always struck me, when compared to my own blogging, are the detailed descriptions of the abuse, and certain events from their childhood. It’s not that I don’t want to be that open with my readers here, the…
