Donation

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Marilyn from Prevent Child Abuse was kind enough to return my call this afternoon. Turns out that the $35 level of giving is enough to make you a “member”, so that’s the minimum amount I’ll be donating over there thanks to the kind contributions of folks from my sites. That’ll also mean I’ll be subscribed to their members newsletter and invited to local events. I’m sure that I’ll be sharing whatever information they have with my readers!

Thanks again for making this possible, and remember you can always contribute to the next donation by using any of the methods laid out in this post.

Share with your friends!

    If you’ve been getting posts here by email, never fear, I haven’t turned that off. You’ll still be getting those, but I have hidden away the signup form for new subscribers. Simply put, the default email subscription tool for WordPress just isn’t doing it for me. All it does is send out posts when they…

  • A note

    Just a note, something that has long bothered me, and has recently come to my attention again. Being in therapy, or suffering from depression, or being a survivor of child abuse, does not give you an excuse to be completely self-absorbed and act like an ass. That is all.. 🙂

    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…

  • A Misunderstanding – What I Assumed Would Be Freeing Seems to be Difficult

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    As I said, that’s the good news. It wasn’t your fault. You didn’t ask to be abused any more than a woman asks to be sexually harassed on the street or a minority asks to be discriminated against, and there wasn’t any action you took to cause it. The decision to abuse was 100% on the abuser. 

    I also understand that this is bad news. Some people decide to hurt others based on their desires and ideas. There is no other reason and no promise that it will be just. It isn’t easy to let go of that ideal when it’s been drilled into us from an early age. Letting go means a complete reinterpretation of the world and our place in it. It’s hard work to figure out how to live our lives if something we’ve clung to since childhood isn’t true.
