Thank you to the Community

Tamara put it better than I ever could, but I wanted to echo her thoughts on how much it means to have fellow survivors involved in this site, and their own sites, sharing their stories, and generally making all of us survivors feel a little less alone in our journey.

I don’t often find the time to get around and comment on as many survivor blogs as I should, but I do want to take the time to let many of you know that I do follow along and you are in my thoughts. We’re in this together, and we will survive.

  • Better in 2006

    As I’ve discussed before, I’ve spent years working on simply being better instead of making new year’s resolutions. I figure that’s it’s better to concentrate on the goal of being a better person every day than it is to make resolutions that go away after a few weeks. I’ve worked, with some success, and continue…

    I got a note today that I thought my be of interest to all of you, so I’m sharing the relevant part of the email: I’m writing to introduce myself and the Letters to My Abusers Project. If you think you may be interested in publishing a letter to your abuser, you can read the…

  • Survivors or Addicts?

    Recently, I had an email exchange with another survivor who had been spending some time in online forums for survivors, and running into a bit of a roadblock. Unfortunately, it was a roadblock I’ve seen in some online forums before, and is one I’ve the reasons I don’t spend that much time there any more….

  • From a comment

    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…

    Other People’s Ups and Downs

    Recently, I had occasion to speak to two friends, on the same day. The conversations couldn’t have been any more different. One friend was celebrating some good news, while the other was struggling under the weight of health issues and needing someone to simply listen and sympathize with them. As someone who cares about both…

    Compline

    Today, as we were walking around Savannah, my wife and I came across a lovely Presbyterian Church and noticed that they had a sign out about a Compline service that evening starting at 9:00PM. It sounded pretty interesting, and as we are always on the lookout for new and interesting things when we are traveling,…

  1. Thank you for the beautiful mention. This whole subject brings tears to my eyes because all of you have helped me so much! Like you, I don’t comment as often as I should, but I am reading.

    All my best,
    Tamara

  2. You are so right when you say that we are all there for each other, It’s great to know that people do care, and by helping each other, we help ourselves. Take care..Mary

  3. I’m new to the blogging community on the topics of child abuse, incest, dissociation, DID, and more. I am also a survivor who began to remember in 1997 and had sufficiently healed by 2001 to enter a counseling program and earn my M.A. degree. I’ve been a therapist primarily to survivors of trauma for several years. I know DID from both sides. While substantially healed, I still struggle occasionally with new issues that surface, and the constant wafting of amnesia through my brain. Am happy to find so many supportive blogs. Blogs did not exist in 1997. Bless all of you.
