Introducing myself

hi guys,
I just wanted to say hello. I need to start addressing this, I am 44. I was sexually abused by my sisters, and spousidified by by my mother. It has been a tough road. I know why I didn't address this before with consistent therapy for a support group, because it is counter intuitive to have to walk into this dimension. It doesn't feel safe, but I know it is necessary. It is also necessary to embrace my gay identity, which has been difficult.
thanks

Hey spw
Welcome to MaleSurvivor and the start of healing the damage and reclaiming yourself. My mother was emotionally incestuous as well-and I have fought to reject that energy and abuse as well as the outright abuse.
THis is a place to build, strengthen and heal-make use Use of ALL the pages on this site and the articles and books mentioned here and elsewhere. Get your bearings and find safe support that feels right.
I'm glad u r here!

Hi SPW and welcome to MS! You are at right place to address all those issues, I'm sorry to hear that you were abused. Feel at home here and share as much as possible. Look for all resources available, there are a lot of things at our disposal: chat, chat group sessions called - Healing circle, books etc. Here is the link to "What we offer" thread: http://www.malesurvivor.org/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=282443&an=72#Post282443Be Well!

Welcome,
I never really know what to say in these welcome messages...but there are some amazing people here that want to listen to you and do believe you.
Take your time, get to feel at home (well, sorta) let your hair down and tell us whats on your mind.

I hope this board becomes a fruitful part of your healing journey brother. t will be especially fruitful here, being that this is the Gay/Bi/Trans Survivor forum. Seriously, though - don't forget to also introduce yourself in the Introductions forum  . While the issues can be tinted differently for those who identify as gay or straight, the general MS community - by and large - is a very open and sharing one. At least I have found that to be true for me. MS is a wonderful place with some amazing people. Welcome and continue to share.
