On my way to Minnesoda (popfizzzzzzzzzz)
Hi All!
It's finally happening for me. The house is sold, the movers loaded up my stuff and I'm on my way to MN.
I'm driving out from PA (arggggg) starting tomorrow and I hope to be able to attend Sunday's closing day at the conference. I'm really looking forward to meeting my fellow men in recovery from life's slings and arrows of abuse and trauma.
These past few months have been an amazing experience of personal growth and healing. It feels like I've finally taken a big step into my manhood where I have the confidence to take new risks and strike out on my own.
I've come so far this past year I've been a member of MS - from hell to a newly born freedom to live a life I want to. Sure, my problems and recovery from SA are still there but they don't rule my conscienciness. It feels so damn good and I'm so grateful that my life is starting to finally open up to all the possibilities and oppurtunities I can take as I chose.
This is a clear and real example of how life can become better for survivors of SA and trauma. I never would have believed it would ever happen for me a year ago!!!! My heart goes out to all the readers who are still in the pain and godawefull quagmire of mental/physical/spiritual consequences of sexual abuse.
I hope to get back to taking part here once I'm settled into my new life in MN; I miss the network of good men one and all who take part here and I apologize for not being able to offer more day to day strengths, experience and now, for me, hope. Most of all, hope.
Peace to you my brothers,
Jer
