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!

Should Survivors Keep The Past Secret?
It’s funny, yesterday I noticed that a post I wrote about why we should continue to talk about child abuse, because survivors need to know that they are not alone, and that there are plenty of other abuse victims who have overcome their abuse to be happy, healthy adults was exactly one year old. So…
Another Survivor Voice Silenced – Chester Bennington
I’m going to be honest here. I’ve never been a Linkin Park fan. I’m not really familiar with their music at all. They came along at a time in my life when my music tastes had moved away from what I like to refer to as “new” Metal, and I just never had much cause…
How Do We Get Out of the Advocacy Bubble?
If what I do sounds descriptive of how you live your own online life, than let me challenge you. Find a post that resonates with you, on either blog, and share it with your network. Or, share this post with a personal note about how child abuse, or mental illness, has touched your life with your network. Not just with the folks you already interact with about these topics, but outside of that.
And then continue to look for ways to reach beyond the bubble of the online survivor community. Because there are survivors and people dealing with mental health problems all around us, and there are also those who remain uneducated about those topics all around us as well.
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. Besides the fact that we, the older survivors, have no room to ‘let’ it out. The expectation from us is high, too high. And that is such a shame. We have a lot to learn.
Thanks Katrina, I’ve added your site as well!
I just wanted to let you know about my blog. Thank you. Katrina
