Perhaps, within time I'll be able to take a stand and share my problems here with the rest of you brave souls. However, at the time, please know that you all have a place within my heart, and I hope every day that you all can recover that much more, untill you've been able to throw off the shackles of the past.

Being a guy doesn't make abuse any less real or valid than it does for the females on this thread. Just the fact that you know that what you've experienced is something you've never deserved is a step in the right direction and can only make you stronger in the long run. We are as, Flaming_Redhead put it, works in progress, so your thoughts and hopes are most welcome. Take as long as you need to get comfortable, we'll be here.
