PinIf you’re a regular Tumblr user, you can now follow this blog, including all of our posts, on our tumblr blog. Right now it just has a link to the latest posts up, but eventually I’d like to start getting involved with other survivors over there, the same way that we do on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus, currently.
If that’s your place to hang out and you want to keep up with the site, by all means, follow us over there – http://childabusesurvivor.tumblr.com/
I know I said things were getting back to normal and I’d have more to say, and then I let 5 days go by without saying anything. Shame on me. One of the things I have been thinking about, relative to this site is the donation I made to Prevent Child Abuse America last year….
I got an email today from Pat McDonald of Project82.com. They are providing a place for abuse survivors to file a confidential report so that prosecutors can find them as they research possible victims of a molester.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, I was the guest of the Moms of Boys Twitter chat.

Over the years of writing this blog, I’ve come to be very accepting of the different ways that survivors heal. What worked for me, may not work for you. We’re individuals, with our own issues tied to the specifics of what happened, and saying that there’s only one way to heal would be foolish. Some…
Pin What’s objectionable? Who decides that? Does an abusive parent get to decide that no one should provide any information about abuse to their kid? Do ultra-religious parents get to decide that no one should see information about LGBTQ issues or mental health medication? Do non-religious parents get to decide that no one is allowed to read the Bible online due to violent passages?Â

Anyone with a blog, website, social media account, etc., is subject to a civil lawsuit based on a parent not agreeing with what they post.Â
