First Time Caller
I am new here and this is my first post. I don't know what to say except I am greatful for this site and all of you guys, I know I am going to be able to continue my recovery with your help.
My story: I am married with children, 40 years old, I was molested, age 9, by a friends father. It only happenned once, and I never went back. For two weeks I held it in but I finally got the courage to tell my father, and he told my mother.
Stat's Divorced parents living with mother just another statistic right.
She took me to the police and I told my story, I felt like no one would believe me and went back to school to face the world with this fear that everyone thought it was my fault. My parents did not take me to counseling nor did they ever talk about the molestation and it left me feeling scared and alone. To add insult to injury my father exposed me to pornographic material at a very young age and that is another childhood trauma I have had to deal with. The rest is history. I have been in counseling for about 5 years and I only go about once a year now, like a check up. I am a survivor but I still struggle with little things. Fear, anxiety seem to hang around most of all but I am working on all of it and I have hope once again.
I would just like to say Hello to everyone and also say thanks to Malesurvivor for the site.
