Child Abuse Survivor Now in Your Language

Thanks to a Google translate widget added to the sidebar, you can choose to read this blog, and the News and Reviews site, in your own language.

I can’t make any promises for how accurate the Google Translate is, but hopefully it helps some folks be able to read and share the posts!

I’ve also added a couple of other things to the sidebar, sharing photos from the Instagram feed as well as a feed of recently shared links. Always trying to provide visitors with good information, and reward them for coming to the page instead of relying on social media to notice when we’ve shared something!

    Being a survivor is a challenge, and healing from childhood abuse is a struggle. Don’t let anyone kid you about that. What it’s not is a death sentence. There is hope, there is joy, and there is life. It may be a long, rough tunnel, and the light at the end of it may seem dim now, but it is there. Survivors need to know that, and they should hear it from us.

  • What Are We Unlearning from Childhood Anyway?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    These all ring so true to either my own experience or the experiences of other survivors I have known through the years. One of the biggest hurdles we have to clear before we can really even begin to have a semi-normal adult life is believing that the way we grew up is the way all relationships work. Even all these years later, I still have to remind myself that what I do is good enough, at home and at work. Or that it’s OK to emotionally connect with new people. It’s really difficult to unlearn those lessons from childhood, and yet it’s so freeing to realize that what happened to us, wasn’t because any of these were true. What happened to us was the result of someone else’s actions that are completely unrelated to who we are, or what we deserved.
