Another New Resource

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Lori’s Song is a brand new site, that just went live today. It is also a charity designed to provide a supportive area for abuse survivors.

From their mission statement:

We have many goals for Lori’s Song. Most prominent in our vision is a positive focus on healing and thriving. Our comprehensive website provides a plethora of resources, insights, and information. Understanding the effects of abuse and their many manifestations in our adult lives is vital to healing from the past and forging a healthy and fulfilling future. Our website offers information on all aspects of healing from child abuse and is a springboard to other helpful resources.

So check it out and see what they have to offer. I know I will be back to see how things develop. It’s always great to see some long time contributors to the online survivor community working together to provide new resources!

  • A Misunderstanding – What I Assumed Would Be Freeing Seems to be Difficult

    As I said, that’s the good news. It wasn’t your fault. You didn’t ask to be abused any more than a woman asks to be sexually harassed on the street or a minority asks to be discriminated against, and there wasn’t any action you took to cause it. The decision to abuse was 100% on the abuser. 

    I also understand that this is bad news. Some people decide to hurt others based on their desires and ideas. There is no other reason and no promise that it will be just. It isn’t easy to let go of that ideal when it’s been drilled into us from an early age. Letting go means a complete reinterpretation of the world and our place in it. It’s hard work to figure out how to live our lives if something we’ve clung to since childhood isn’t true.

    One of the recurring themes I noticed in the holiday edition of the Blog Carnival was in the area of how to deal with the holidays as a survivor. More than one post talked specifically about making new traditions. It’s very easy to regret the Christmas traditions that we either didn’t have, or were not…
