This site’s host is moving servers again, so we may be going away for a bit while all the DNS gets updated and I get things installed and running properly at the new home. I got everything saved this time though, but I’m leaving this note as a temporary head’s up until things are back to normal!
Keep your fingers crossed!
It was brought to my attention this afternoon that all of the posts on this blog seemed to have been taken down. I assure you, I did not remove them. A corrupted plugin managed to temporarily do that for me. All seems to be well in the world for now, aside from finding a way…
I’ve been doing some writing today about my trip last night to Cincinnati to see Midnight Oil. It’s sort of a review not only of the show, but of my personal feelings about being back at Bogart’s to see them 13 years after the first time I saw them there. You can read it here.
Turns out my hosting company upgraded the Perl version on the server, and didn’t include all the modules that are required to run Movable Type, so that’s why things were basically wacky the last few days. I just finished installing the Perl modules into the MT installation itself, so I won’t have to rely on…
Things are coming along, I’ve obviously imported all of the old Blogger entries, I’ve moved all of the Essays over, I’ve created a page for “recommended reading” that I will start to build a list of good books dealing with abuse and depression, and I’ll start building a list of online resources as well. Those…
Found a new link to a fellow survivor of child abuse and have added her to the blogroll over there under that category. It seems that the blog was just started this month, but the frank, honest nature of the writing has made an immediate impact on me. I expect I’ll be back many times….
Thanks to my discovery of Simple Tags recently, a WordPress plugin that helps you add tags to old posts, I’ve been doing just that on this blog. Now, what that means to you might not be much, but it allows me to have another way to present the content here to you. Initially, I had…

CKD, because I use my real name on the site, I don’t really explain exactly what happened and who did it. I don’t want the people in my family who don’t know what happened to be able to identify the people involved. I’d rather have them talk to me to discover the details, so I don’t post them in public. If you want some more of the details, feel free to email me, webmaster, as this domain.
Hey,
I was reading your website and i think it is a really good idea that you have set it up. I was just lookin for information on child abuse as i am about to take my finals in drama, and mycharacter is based on a paedophile, and i came across this website.
I was just wondering what actually happened? as it does not state what happened. I’m not trying to be unkind or anything ? and are you friends or known with your abuser today?
Hope u can give me answer
Many thaks

Hey Mike
I’m sorry thatu can’t nae who it is. I am sorry if i have offended u in anyway at all. SO i am sorry. i know it sounds really insensitive but if possible with you before going ahead and using it thought i would ask you if it was ok with you. i was wondering if i was allowed to use one of your stories as one of my groups stimuluses, as we were going to use ur story as an example of how u can make something god of what has happened. i thought i woud ask u as it is your story, and it would morally be right. You would not be mention it was just one of your quotes/postings that you have done. If you say no i will completely understand that it is ur own thoughts and u want to keep ur thoughts to ur self
many thx
ckd
No, I’m not offended at all, I honestly just don’t talk about details because this isn’t the place I want people in my life to learn the details. Does that make sense? As far as using any of my writing, go right ahead! They’re public. 🙂
