Hi everyone, my name is Kai and I am a survivor of abuse.

I am 25 years old and I an a website designer. I am hoping to find others like me who have been abused and have managed to survive and create a better lives for themselves. I am currently seeing a psychologist who suggested that I seek out others like myself and form constructive friendships, she recommended this page to me.

I'm still not sure of the protocols, but any new friend is welcome to chat with me.

many smiles,
Kai.

Welcome to Malesurvivor, Kai. I hope you make many friends here.

Welcome to Male survivor Kai!
It is great that you came here. It seems that we have couple of great survivors from SA here already
Here is link to Martin's blog, who is working very hard for survivors in South Africa:

Be aware that we have offered here moderated chat sessions called Healin circles - those are kind of group work. Please consider sometimes to check it and see if it suites you.
Just take your time and try to connect to survivors, it should be easy, we all have so much in common
Please share further as much as possible!

Welcome--it is a great place to heal and seek support. Move at your own pace--feel safe and comfortable.

You will find it is a very rewarding place to be.

Hi Kai,

Welcome to MS.

I am glad you have found this place of healing and support.

Take your time and look around. You do not want to trigger yourself by reading too many posts at one time.

At your own pace, read the boards and wander into chat. The lounge (chat) is open 24 hours a day though it isn't always populated.

We also have moderated chats called Healing Circles. They meet on Sunday and Wednesday evenings at 9pm eastern time and one on Tuesday at 19:00 UTC (European and African time zone) which translates to 2 PM Eastern US time zone. The Healing Circle on Tuesdays is scheduled to resume in September.

Again, welcome to MS.
