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!

I was reading Carolyn’s comment on that last post, and she used a term I’d been thinking about lately, “damaged goods.” Are we, as child abuse survivors, damaged goods? To a certain extent, we are. Being victimized like that as a child leaves long-lasting impressions and issues. On the other hand, it’s not exactly a…
This one was sent to me in an email from a loyal reader of the site. Boy Grows Up This is the second book by Richard McCann, who’s story is a little more unique as the son of one victim of England’s most notorious serial killers of the 1970s and he’s only two years older…
I was having a conversation the other day, trying to explain why being embarrassed about asking for help is such a “guy” thing, when the reality struck me dead in the face. Society really tells us that men are independent and don’t need help, and I’ve often wondered if this isn’t the reason men, generally,…
This time it’s the case of the rape away the gay pastor, who tried to explain away his sexual abuse of boys by claiming he was trying to keep me from being gay, who has had his sentence reduced to 5 years of probation and mandatory sex offender classes. On the heels of what happened…
Pin Hey guess what? Feeling anxious right now is probably the healthiest and most normal response to what is happening around us that you’ve ever had. 😉 Look, I get it, we are in uncharted territory right now and no one is really sure what comes next. We are seeing the number of people testing positive…
This is an interesting article for me. It states that just 2% of workers feel like their manager would be able to help them if they suffered from mental illness such as depression. Here’s the thing, I had two very different experiences when I first was diagnosed with sever depression. My first boss, once I…

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
