My story, and first time connecting with survivors
Hello all,
I’m a survivor, although flashbacks and dreams make me feel like I’m still fighting to survive. I am finally facing the end of 2018, a new years resolution, and promise that I would begin to try and heal from childhood abuse. I am also here because for the first time I decided to call RAINN. Through that discussion, I both learned and realized there is value in connecting with survivors. This is tough for me because I fear other men, from doctors, dentists, counselors, and in friendships... Any touch or emotional conversation with men has always caused me anxiety. But I'm here... I'm here...
