New link

I got an email this morning from Neil Ahern, author of a book titled AN INCH FROM MURDER My Life As A Male Victim Of Sexual Child Abuse. That link will take you to an explanation of the book and of Neil himself, but he has also started up a weblog which, in his words:

I have put this Blog together because in 1987 and for years afterward – I never attained the goal of creating a self-help group for the male victim of sexual child abuse. Yet this forum need not be – just for the male victim – nor – for just survivors of sexual abuse. All abuse is wrong. I hope today – as I hoped in 1987 – that I can be of help.

Please feel free to join and contribute to this Weblog and/or comment on the entries that you read here.

That sounds very close to the reason I started doing this website, and have hoped that people would be able to get something out of reading, contributing, posting in the forums, whatever they can get. Given the similar goals, how could I not link to him?

    Found another blog being written by an abuse survivor over the weekend, Shattered Dollhouse. Seems like I’ve been finding a few more lately, or maybe they’re finding me, eh? Obviously I’m glad to see more people openly talking about abuse and surviving, but at the same time, I’m sad that there are so many of…

    Example of the Power of Touch

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve written before, and I’ve seen study and study that talks about the power of touch. I’ve also mentioned that, as a sexual abuse survivor, sometimes we have a lot of trouble really connecting with people in the same way because of the various issues we have with being touched, and the struggle to see…

    It’s the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. My day was pretty full, volunteering and serving food early in the day, and then having dinner with my family later. It was a long day, all that time being social and around people has me pretty tired, but I wanted to post a quick thought about…

    I know for many survivors this time of year can be difficult and filled with stress as we navigate the treacherous waters that constitute our families, so I just want to take a moment and wish you all well, and hope that we all remember to take care of ourselves!

    You are a terrific guy for giving me such a nice entry and linking to me. It’s fine folks like you – that will help make more people aware of the plight of the abused child.

    And it isn’t so much that I concentrate on the aspects of sexual child abuse – but moreso – the lasting effects of emotional abuse – that imho is far more lasting than any physical abuse that I received.

    I pray that more people will discover your site.

    Best regards,

    Neil

    Current Mood: I was recently made aware of Nealus’ blog, An Inch From Murder. I think it’s a very important read, and I am impressed that more and more survivors are willing to open up and tell their story. I wish Nealus all the best in fin…
