Talk about going into high stress zone, I work nights and had an rollercoster weekend telling a few friends about my SA before they read about it in Thur paper. I was all ready to call in sick.
Monday is my hour with the T, well today was 6 month mark getting the help I need. We looked back at all the growing I have done and all the issues i have faced. I am getten better just hard to tell some days . In the past I would of called in sick in a second,
Well I went into work ,keep my boss happy, went to MaleSurvivor new discussion board and PMed Gary- CDN . We went back and forth a few times and this is what we came up with. Gary-CDN is the writter here Not I Muldoon
Recovering from male childhood sexual abuse
Society still responds to instances of male childhood sexual abuse as if each were an
exception from the rule. Regardless of who the perpetrator is, this type of abuse is the most elemental violation of ones humanity. As a community we have failed to understand the enormity of this evil and how profoundly it affects the child, the maturing adolescent and the adult. Most victims will remain hidden in silence, held there by guilt and shame, however the child did nothing wrong. The guilt and shame belongs to the perpetrator.
For many children, the experience of abuse unknowingly influences various aspects of their lives, frequently resulting in negative behaviour patterns that may include addiction, depression, low self-esteem and numerous other social/mental disorders.
To free themselves from the past and regain positive control over their lives, the victims must speak up, be heard and understand they are not alone. By ending the silence they begin the process of healing and move from being a victim to becoming a survivor.
If all victims stand together as survivors, hopefully we can make changes that will protect todays children and teach all the children to never hide in silence. It is the Time to Heal.
Thank you Muldoon
