And would like to know where y'all have been for 40 years, cause I been looking. It's a lonely lonely world for us MS, we've heard all the reasonings that are paramount to being victimized again, because boys can fight and run, therefore... Yes, we know, we should have done this or *could* have done that. So simple. Except it is anything but simple. Victimized by whatever perp then it's the court's turn (if that even happens at all), then all the wonderful suggestions. "Just let bygones... Read more ..read more

Timeline of abuse (Part 2, nine to ten years old) 1. In '84 I was sent away to boarding school, my father's relatives school, we'd visited and stayed with them before.

Hello, I am a male survivor in my late thirties (I used a different birthday for the forum). I was sexually abused and trapped in a covert incest relationship with my very ill mother for several years as a child and an adolescent, with the incestuous dynamic continuing well into my adulthood. The assaults were painful and violent, involving rituals of sexual humiliation and extreme punishment. They impacted me severely. I have struggled with acting out, addictions, unhealthy relationships... Read more ..read more

Hello, my name is Adam Robbins. When I was 5-6 years old, my female cousin, who is only 3 months older than me, and I got naked and stood back to back, touching each other. There's a lot of gaps in my memory about why or how it started, like why I can remember the whole room, but not the doorway. Like something has been deleted there. I also watch the memory like I'm watching a TV show or something. The, when we were both 14, we had another, more serious encounter. We were laying in her... Read more ..read more

My story as it stands to present. December 23, 2022. This was the night when everything began to trickle in. At this time I was dating my girlfriend (currently ex in present day) and she was very upset that I had a hard time kissing her and after the first kiss refused her from wanting to makeout or kiss any further (she has past relationship trauma). That night I was praying and talking about the instance above (note: imma Jesus freak; I don't hate on others) and this old "dream" about... Read more ..read more
