My apologies. I inadvertantly forgot to turn on the “require regsitration” feature of the forums when I moved everything and a couple of folks left comments without registering. Oops!

Hopefully they’ll come back and register and continue to be a part of things!
I have officially registered childabusesurvivor.net as the new home of this blog and the rest of my child abuse site that’s currently sitting over at Geocities.

I’ve also renewed this domain for another year, so here’s to hoping this site can be…
Leah asks a good question in the comments for that last post: Why is it so hard for us (survivors) to compliment ourselves, feel good about our work and the like?! – I too have experienced this and it is frustrating. I think a large part of the answer has to do with comfort levels….

I saw this comment pop up on the site this evening, and thought this was a serious topic that I really want to have a discussion about. Unfortunately, I’m also leaving for San Antonio early in the morning so I won’t have time to give this enough thought to form a proper answer for a…
