Don’t know if anyone’s noticed that I added a couple of survivor blogs to the blogroll, End of Abuse and The last one. As always, if you know of any blogs by abuse depression or disability survivors, please pass them on!

The latest episode of the Survivor Stories podcast, featuring Ben Glade and Annaka Vimahi, brought home two important things to know about child abuse: 1. How deep does the secrecy surrounding child abuse run? A brother and sister, 4 years apart, have no idea they were both being abused until they were in their thirties….
No, what we need are not more registries. We need something much more comprehensive than that, something that will take more work than that, and something that focuses so much more on the children being abused and how to help them than on anything else, especially things that make us feel safer without providing much benefit at all.

I’m sure many of you have also seen some posts questioning why sharing…
Pin Thanks to a Google translate widget added to the sidebar, you can choose to read this blog, and the News and Reviews site, in your own language. I can’t make any promises for how accurate the Google Translate is, but hopefully it helps some folks be able to read and share the posts! I’ve also…
I was going to leave a comment on Tamara’s post, Who Am I without the Abuse?, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to turn it into a post and not take over her comments with my thoughts. This is a subject that was weird for me. I’m pretty sure I’ve…
I was thinking earlier this week about why many victims of child abuse, or domestic violence, continue to believe they deserved what happened to them.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I hope, as I’ve always hoped for this site, that it is a place where survivors of all races, male and female would feel a little less alone. I know it’s rare for men to speak of being sbuse survivors anywhere, but there are some of us out here. Keep writing!
please forgive me for answering only now. you put my blog on your blog and i’m touched. In Israel the whole subject on abuse is still kind of new-ish. But NEVER is there a situation where male survivors speak up. And i mean NEVER. I am at awe each time i see that. You see, we aren’t educated like that.

Thanks Katrina, I’ve added your site as well!
I just wanted to let you know about my blog. Thank you. Katrina
