Comment on Grooming a Victim by Cathy Morgan

I wish you peace in your soul and love in your life, not an easy task but until I found order in God’s wish for us I could never be still, or happy. Sharing the horrible truths of our childhood is one step closer to finally getting some relief from all the negatives that it brings. Talking to a real human being about our experiences who cares and listens had made me believe that yeah… there are people in the world to trust but if our experiences make us wary then maybe that is not always a bad thing. Good luck with your journey and it’s important for all of us who were abused to know that there are good people in the world. Best of wishes to you.

Hello Brittany,
Know there are online resources for you to get support. We Are Survivors is a great one (http://www.wearesurvivors.org) Isolation is a huge factor in this crime. If you have told your mother, ask her to get you counseling. This is the kind of crime that affects you long afterwards in ways that you don’t even realize until years later. It affected the friends I chose, the men I married, they way I parented my own children, and the level of education I could attain. My self esteem was low and I lived most my life in a deep depression.

Wow.. The same thing happened to me. Only it was my dad that was drunk and couldn't control himself. And we didn't stay in a hotel. We went home. When we got home, my mom went out to the store. While gone, my dad sexually and physically abused me. When my mom returned, she found out what had happened but was too scared to leave him. So this went on for seven years. We finally got out of that situation about 5 years ago. Im 15 by the way. I've only told four people, including you now. It's a very hurtful thing, and I wish there was something we could do to help other kids in this situation. Some kids, including me, never went to counseling or told anyone. Just held it in, because they thought it was normal or they deserved it. <- Not the case at all. No one deserves it. I'm really hoping to get involved in a group that helps children like us. I hope you are inspired enough to also. Keep telling people you're story and making differences. Much luck, Brittany

Comment on Maumee Children’s Home or Maumee Orphanage by Teresa Hutchinson

Darlene,

I just saw your post about family members who lived at the Maumee Children’s Home. Do you think any of your Mom’s sister and/or brothers would talk with me about the Maumee Children’s Home? The Home and lives of all those whose footsteps crossed its threshold have certainly earned pages due it in both America’s and Ohio’s history — far more than simply an institutional notation.

Can you tell me their last names and where they live? Or could you put me in contact with them?

Thanks so much for your consideration!

Teresa

Comment on Child Abuse Survivors and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder by April Fournier

I am so glad I found this website. I really thought that I was the only one who kept thinking about the past. The worst part for me is that I have missing chunks of childhood. My sister and I were both abused. My parents will never admit it. My life is so screwed up. I don’t even know where to start to fix it. I think about suicide several times a day. My husband died May 31, 2011. He was the only one who ever gave me unconditional love. My parents never loved me. Why they had children is beyond me.

Hi Matthew,
I know how difficult surviving the aftermath of child abuse is and I know first hand how it can contribute to mental illness. I do hope you seek out a support system while you try to heal yourself. It is possible to heal to the point where you don’t think of it every day. It is hard work, but know it can be done if you learn to be kind to yourself. My prayers are with you.
