Elysium had a good idea about posting a sticky thread for links to articles regarding abuse.
Here is her link to an article describing covert sexual abuse. http://ezinearticles.com/?Sexual-Abu...orms&id=382309 Please folks, be aware that some of the information may be quite triggering, so please enter and read with self care in mind. If anyone else would like to post links that you found helpful and would like to share them with the community, please feel free to do so.  sabby |

Sabby,
Thank you for posting this sticky for us.  To everyone else....I know this is not something anyone really enjoys reading, or talking about. I do hope it can help survivors of abuse to validate their experiences and provide a place were people with questions can come to learn. Take care all....

you can't know what is in someone's mind.. MY T said that if you hit me you may not be intending to hurt me but if you do hit me the chances are that you probably are trying to hurt me. Something in it made a lot of sense.. we feel the energy of those around us, anger, sexual, everything... we sort of sense things. There is an awkwardness that most children will pick up on.. that somethnig isn't right. Small kids wouldn't even know some things are wrong.. but there is soemthing in it that makes them feel it is wrong somehow. dont know if this helps

WOW. Thank you for posting that.
TRIGGER WARNING "In his seminal essay, "Understanding the Batterer in Visitation and Custody Disputes", Lundy Bancroft sums up the asymmetry in favor of the offender: "Batterers ... adopt the role of a hurt, sensitive man who doesn't understand how things got so bad and just wants to work it all out 'for the good of the children.' He may cry ... and use language that demonstrates considerable insight into his own feelings. He is likely to be skilled at explaining how other people have turned the victim against him, and how she is denying him access to the children as a form of revenge ... He commonly accuses her of having mental health problems, and may state that her family and friends agree with him ... that she is hysterical and that she is promiscuous. The abuser tends to be comfortable lying, having years of practice, and so can sound believable when making baseless statements. The abuser benefits ... when professionals believe that they can "just tell" who is lying and who is telling the truth, and so fail to adequately investigate. Because of the effects of trauma, the victim of battering will often seem hostile, disjointed, and agitated, while the abuser appears friendly, articulate, and calm. Evaluators are thus tempted to conclude that the victim is the source of the problems in the relationship." I cannot even begin to say how completely accurate this statement is concerning what my ex is doing to me AND his other child's mother. |

Both of you you have had a good idea to gather the links here so they could be also find easily and maybe also checked and/or searched for their relevance:
http://www.vachss.com/help_text/index.html On the above site - that I think it's one of the best on the topic, I have read a lot about abuse. There, I read also an article about an organization that was supposed to help the abused ones but that actually did the contrary... Here is another link that I found on a recent posted thread; I think it's a good one too: http://forums.psychcentral.com/showp...23&postcount=1 Quote:

I just wanted to add this. It's not an article, it's a manual you can download for free.. reading through it, it is very helpful.

This site has several quotes from Secret Survivors: Uncovering Incest and Its After Effects in Women by E. Sue Blume. I actually rented this book on my own time and though I was triggered by it and so couldn't get through the whole thing, there were several descriptions by her that I loved. Definitely a worthwhile read, if you can handle it. Makes a lot of great points that I (and my best friend/story twin) could really identify with.
__________________ "When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty, There arises the recognition of ugliness. When they know the good as the good, There arises the perception of evil. Therefore Being and non-Being produce each other." "Suffering produces perserverance; perserverance, character; and character, hope." |

I'm sorry that you are experiencing this with your T. This is such a painful thing, as our Ts are supposed to be looking out for our best interests. Something I would like to remind you of... Abuse is abuse, regardless of whether it's coming from a parent, a sibling, a neighbor or other relative, but especially a therapist. Therapists have a legal and moral obligation to do no harm. If you need someone to talk with, you can share here in the abuse forum if your comfortable and possibly in the Psychotherapy forum, but if you need to share intense things, you will want to use the trigger icon...or just stay here in this forum. If you need or want to talk privately, feel free to PM me anytime.

thank you so very,very much elysium for responding so quickly. this abuse has been going on and off for close to 4 years now and it hasnt been until just recently we realized how bad it was and although it is absolutely not sexual in nature at all it is abuse nonetheless. maybe we can pm you part of our experience and see what you think tomorrow? tonight we are still overly distraught and teetering on the edge to say anymore. thanks so much again you have no idea how much this means

here is a FORUM for abuse survivors. It took me many google searches to find it.
http://www.fortrefuge.com/forum/index.php __________________ “In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the...feeling felt as truth...that no remedy will come -- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . . It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.”-William Styron |

I just found out about a survivors' empowerment, healing and public education organization started by Mariska Hargitay, who plays Detective Olivia Benson on the TV show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. It is called The Joyful Heart Foundation (click the name to follow the link to their homepage). I think it's well worth adding this one to your bookmarks!

There is an article on the effects of sexual abuse by a priest: Forgive and Forget? America Magazine, September 16, 2002. It identifies all the areas affected including religious faith, which is often overlooked when people talk about the issue of abusive religious leaders.
