Sexual Abuse...

just thought i would say hello good to see a great response from people. too bad we need this thread and group like this. it is good to know that at least there is others to go to for something. they are not pros. but neither I'm I. thanks to toes ann and ray for all they are doing. it is good to know that we can be there for each other. later kyle
 
Just wanted to acknowledge Dave for what had to have been a very tough time doing last night's show. I'd planned to stay until the end but I froze up and figured it would be into archive time by the time I rebooted. So, I just shut down and went to bed.

Part of me wonders if that was meant to be. Something was brought up that got me thinking. I was trying to tune it out. But, it wasn't working. So, since I lost the show, I decided I needed to focus on that a bit before I went to sleep. It's nothing major, just one of those nagging things that doesn't seem to want to go away. I'll write up something once I get home and have time. I suspect it's an issue many of us face.

Anyway.....great job, Dave!
 
Dave, Wanted to give you a huggggg for sharring like you did lastnight. I know it was hard to do yet from you sharring, it will help others, esp men, to come forward and join our support group. I am here for you when ever you wanna talk, you know how to reach me.. I am proud to be starting the support group with you and ANN.

LUVS YA,
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSs
 
Dave, props to you for sharing your story last night. Through our recent conversations, I was fully aware of how difficult it was for you to do.

You held up really well and may well have set a precedent for other males to come forward and speak of their stories, if they wish to do so. Knowing there are supportive and understanding people around does make a difference.

As I've said previously, if you ever want to talk, I'm here.

Take care, hun. :cuddle:
 
Thanks to all of you guys for the support. And tha'ts the whole point....support. I sincerely hope that if nothing else was accomplished, it'll allow any males in our community with these issues to feel more comfortable reaching out.

Ann, drop me a PM. You've got me a little concerned. I hope nothing that was touched upon set you off in a bad way. That's one of the insidious things about all of this, you never know what'll trigger things. Get in touch, hon.

No problems, Dave. Just a topic that needs addressing. We're on our way to Philly. I'll post about it when we get back on Saturday.
 
Next Tuesday 10/21/08 at 11 PM EST we will be doing our show on a sexual abuse support group....

Stay tuned for details........
 
I'm going to listen to the archives after I'm finished with school (Oct 25). I have to put this issue to the side so I can focus on my coursework. I thought I opened my Pandoras Box a little early and I was right. My nerves have been frayed since, but I'm okay.

Haven't listened to anything yet, but I'm proud of you Dave. It could not have been easy to discuss your past but I hope it opens the door for men to come forward.
 
Group opening soon!

Just a little update. As Ray mentioned, we'll be doing another show next Tuesday (Oct 21). During that show, we'll discuss the upcoming support group, which will officially open next Friday (Oct. 24). We'll likely share a bit more about ourselves for those who haven't gotten to know us yet. We'll also be sharing some details of who to go to for access to the group, what you can expect in the group, etc. If you have any questions about us or the group itself, we encourage you to listen, join us in chat and/or call in.

There will be a slight wait (a day or two) to get in as we review with you what to expect or not expect and the groups rules. We'll make it as quick and painless as possible. We just want to be sure that we're right for each other before letting you in and having you be disappointed or anything. If you think you'd like to join us but aren't yet sure, you can get in touch with myself, DimpleToes or Dave2112. This way, you can discuss any concerns you may have and be ready to roll once you feel comfortable.

Once again, we want to stress that this will be a safe place where all will be required to hold anything shared in strict confidence. It will only be visible to those for whom access is set.

We also need to remind you that none of us is a professional counsellor. We're simply fellow survivors who are willing to listen, share and support one another.
 
Keep in mind also that though Tracy and I are very large supporters of this group, neither of us have had these experiences in our lives and as such will not have access to the group ourselves. Only those who have had experiences will be granted access and the founders will be there to talk and more importantly to listen...

Tracy and I will do all we can from the outside and are always willing to listen to others who have other issues they would like to discuss, but this group is unique....

Love you all....
