Steve,

Keep talking. It helps to get everything out in the open. I'm glad that you found us at Male Survivor!

Recovery is Possible!

Steve , I do understand how you feel about trust issues , I was raped my another male soldger while I was in the US Army in 1977
This has had a profound effect on the way that I look at people . I still have a hard time dealing with people to this day . I have had trouble with marrages I am on my third marrage . amd I think that my wife has had to go through a lot of shit because of the way that I have become over the years . We all have to find our own ways to cpe with what happened to us . It is not an easy road . But some how we all manage to get by . But believe me we do understand how you feel and we are hear for each other
 
Steve,

I hope it will help you to know that ALL of the feelings you describe are felt by so many other guys. You are NOT alone or screwed up; you are reacting to one of the most terrible things that can be done to a child. Sure, it was a long time ago, but this one doesn't just go away - it lingers and can affect us in so many ways.

Yes, this is a good place, and you are a part of it! Please do keep talking. As Brian has said above, it helps to get things out in the open. As we do that we learn to understand our feelings better, and that lessens their power to hurt us.

Much love,
Larry
 
Steve,

you just posted all our lives, but guess what?
You are worth thinking that you are a good person.

It does not matter how much someone tells me I am good, I wont believe them. If a girl told me she fancied me rotten, I would just say, put your glasses on.

Why? Because I am the totally worthless piece of shit, and its not worth you ever getting to know what you are letting yourself in for.

I guess we all have to find that we are worthy,

Welcome to here. I think it is something that hits people a lot, thinking they was over this, and something jumps up at them, in their life, how it is going, and realizing there is more work to be done. Enough of us, enough of our lives are given over to the abuse. When you decide it is time to take back your life, it is time, and I am glad you are here. I hope this site will continue to be a source of support and help to you.
