((((Lost_1231))))

Thank you for posting and reaching out. Welcome to PC and I am glad that you are here. I am so sorry that this happened to you for you did not deserve this nor was it your fault. I too think that what you titled this is awsome. Male Survivor--yes you are. I know that you feel so confused and hurt and I validate what you are feeling but you are a survivor and being a survivor means that you can make it with time and patience.

You said that you are not strong--but I think that you are very strong for in posting and reaching out you have shown a strength that many can not show. I know that it has left you feeling dead and I totally understand that. What happened to you should have never happened and my heart goes out to you. Even being drunk and stoned does not give anyone the right to abuse you at any age. You are fighting back now by taking a stand and taking back your self. The first step is the hardest being able to say it. I thank you for saying it here and I know it was hard to do.

Please know that we are here for you and will walk this path with you. Please try to go talk to someone about this. I am not sure if you have a t or not but it would be a good idea so you can work through all the feelings and emotions that will come or have already came. You deserve to be heard and listened to, to be able to move forward. Yes, I believe you can still have that marriage, education, own business, kids, and yes even that mini van. Take it one day at a time and remember to breathe and to take care of you.

Know that we are here and that we care. Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
