I know the feeling Kevin talked about on his blog last night all too well. For all the guilt and depression I suffered through all the years of abuse, none of that feels as bad as disappointing a wife so worthy of my love and care.
Hang in there Kevin, the best thing about our wives is how much they see the good in us even when we don’t.
I spotted this post by Faith Allen on her blog recently, and have been enjoying the various comments that came pouring in. In it she talks about how healing has become a challenge within her marriage because she is not the wife her husband expects her to be any more. She has been spending her…
I was looking around this morning and stumbled upon this article written by a young women suffering from, trying to overcome, and learning everything she can about depression. I thought it was a pretty good look inside the mind of someone who suffers from depression. I especially idenitifed with this quote: “Diabetes is manageable, you…
OK, ok, I admit it, I’ve been a slacker when it comes to this site. I’ve been extremely busy at work, and extremely busy with holiday stuff that I simply haven’t really had time to think any deep thoughts that would be appropriate for this blog. I’ve been completely preoccupied with technolgy-related thoughts. Of course,…
Pin I saw the graffiti pictured while walking around Maastricht, in The Netherlands, back in April. I took a photo of it because it was something that piqued my interest in that moment, and also because I knew at some point I would want to write about it. I’m not usually a big fan of graffiti…
I saw this comment hit the blog this evening, and have since sent an email response, but I wanted to share my thoughts with others, and perhaps get a discussion going around the topic. Here’s what Amie wrote earlier: No victim of child abuse will EVER live a happy life. Somewhere deep down inside, they…
I saw this quote the other day, by Cristian Nestell Bovee, on a LinkedIn status, and I thought to myself, what a perfect way to think about overcoming childhood abuse. There are many who would tell us that the pain of child abuse is so awful that it’s worse than death. That victims of horrific…

Hi, I just wanted to leave a comment, and say I think it is nice that you would donate raised money and that of your own to help others.
I am a survivor of abuse, and wish I could do more for others who are hurting…
Just wanted to say I think it is great that you are reaching out.

Thanks, Mike. You were right.
You know, the thing about life that I notice the most is that it is a two way street.
Relationships are a give and take thing, no matter who you are or what your past represents for you.
Sometimes it is hard to be there for someone else when you can’t even be there for yourself, but if you are lucky, like I know you are…you have someone who really loves you and someone who will stay even during those times.
Im waiting for my day in court I hope I can be as brave as Kevin. My wives couldn’t handle me. Now that I have healed somewhat I have tried to make amends to them for my “Toxic” behaviour. I wish all servivors the best of luck, we will need it. gardinerjr@rogers.com
