Ken from NursingSchools.net was kind enough to send me an email informing me that this blog was included in their 40 Excellent Blogs for PTSD Support.
I’m touched that they thought this little blog of mine was worthy of being included, and I highly encourage you to go take a look at he whole list. Some of them are folks that I’ve read before, but quite a few are new to me. I’m looking forward to reading them as well!
Thanks Ken!
I meant to blog about this a couple of days ago, but work events have conspired to draw my attention away from many things. Typical. 🙂 Anyway, this particular person found their way over to the forums and shared their site with us, http://onceabused.blogspot.com/. By the way, there have been a couple of folks who…
Due to some spam, and possible hacking attempts in the installation of the Survivors Network, I’ve taken the whole site offline. It may not be coming back. A big part of the reason for this happening was my inability to keep up with it, and keep the software installation up to date. Since there hasn’t…
I can see from my server logs an increasing amount of traffic coming in from specific searches. For the record, this is a site wrtten by someone who was a victim of child abuse, and it contains links to photos that I have taken, mostly from my travels over the last few years. There are…
I was exchanging emails earlier this week with someone around the issue of trying to support a spouse who is a survivor. Obviously, being the survivor in my marriage, I’m not the expert on how to handle this, but I was able to offer some insight into typical male survivor behavior and mindsets that I…
Pin One of the worst ways I’ve seen people wreck their own mental health is by not knowing their own limits. If I may borrow a sports metaphor, one sure way to lose at any sport is to try and do too much. Let’s take my favorite sport, hockey, for example. There are 6 players on…
Reposted from my other blog, because it applies to the readers here just as much! As we in the US get ready to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, many of us like to blog about the things we are thankful for. Each year, as I dwell on that thought, certain things always come to the…

There is just too much to add to this site, but I am waking up after thirty years to the abuse that has happened to me from many years ago. I have started a blog jz inside story, to let people know all about the different types of abuse. Maybe I will live a less stress life. Maybe I will make a difference in one’s life. I think it is wonderful to see all those that share in their stories. I know it is hard to do. I am embarrassed of where I came from. I feel so ashamed. I am getting where people have said I am shaming myself. I didn’t do anything and people act like I did this to me. WHY?
I can’t help but wonder why my mind stored all my sorrow away just to come back and haunt me many years later.
Is there such a thing as thirty year old shock, trauma?
It was my parents that abused me, but my older sister continued for many years later, and I just wave it under the carpet. Sometime abuse is standing right beside you and you don’t know it! How do I know, they killed my Mom, that wasn’t enough. I was told for the second time in my life that my Dad is not my biological father. To turn around and tells everyone I ever knew I am a liar. Judy makes up stories and then believes them. Because of this my whole family dumped me and my family. I made these people a big part of our girl’s lives, and for what?
Why did this happen, I have a fifteen year old daughter that was running into trouble, she moved in with my 20 something year old niece, I fought back.
Now my daughter feels if she comes home she is picking sides. There is much, much more.
Now I ask for DNA from every single one of them. To find out NO. This is my family they are hurting. Who says No to such a thing? Who?
🙁
Thank you for your time and Thank you for caring about children. Those are MY Private Parts is selling over 500+ copies per month just on amazon. It is currently listed as Amazon’s #1 bestseller in Personal Safety and Sex Education. A 7 year old sexual abuse survivor actually hugged the book and said, “I am going to keep this under my pillow and read it to my little sister every night so she doesn’t get hurt like I did.” (Flora Jessup from Childpro) This little rhyming book covers all of the perpetrator’s tricks, from calling the private parts different names and no private parts games to the first grooming touch; it even gives children a nonthreatening, non-leading space to tell. Most importantly, it specifically mentions family members by name, “Not with my uncle, nephew, niece or dad…” Marcia Stanton from the Phoenix Children’s Hospital distributes the books as door prizes at the end of her Stewards of Children Training and the US Attorney’s Office in Washington DC ordered 300 copies. Children who have read Those are MY Private Parts do not deviate from testimony.
I am offering a quantity discount to all non-profit organizations that focus on the protection of children and the prevention of child sexual abuse.
