Thanks, Pero. The walk did a lot of good. Got some pizza (instead of a drink.) I'm ready to do some more writing. I appreciate your kind words. They mean a lot.

That is great news Thebo, I'm glad that walk and pizza did so good to you !
I'm keeping fingers crossed for your homework and scholarship.
Keep us updated .

Hmrph! Seriously, thank you.

I love you guys.

I'm doing a term paper for the Understanding and Treatment of Victims of Abuse. Since my teacher, in my humble opinion, is little behind on the issues of male survivor, and she loves case studies, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me permission to quote from your story or a post so I can better support my position on standing up to her misconceptions about male survivors--she leans heavily on that 85% of all perps imprisoned were victims, but she lacks emphasizing the much lower percentage which relates to the overall survivor population. She requires references so I would use the site and your screenname. I would not give her access (i.e., my password and screenname.) I would only use the material as a quote in the paper. She is the only one who would have access to it (the paper,) however I may show it to my T to discuss as part of my healing process.

All that said, if anyone would like to share in that capacity, let me know and tell me exactly what I can use to quote.

Here's the important stuff. Under no circumstances do I want anyone to feel compromised, threatened or unsafe. Believe me, I want everyone here to feel completely safe. Understood?

Feel free to use any of my stuff. Not that my stuff would be very helpful, but if you find something in there, feel free!

Hi Thebo,
feel free to use any of my stuff if you'll find it interesting...

Thebo,

You can use anything you like of mine. Recovery is OURS, not mine.

We share our recovery together.

Hi Thebo,

This is a post I wrote in direct response to your ...ahem, "teachers" irresponsible dissemination of incorrect information.

The title of the post is Information about the Abused Becoming Abusers.

Contained within that post is the citation for the original research study from which that erroneous and deleterious conclusion was drawn.

Additionally, there is a link to a paper which discusses the faulty research and where the research failed, step by step. It then tackles the "conclusion" of that research and it discusses the inappropriateness (poor research methods) of generalizing a conclusion from the target population to the non-target population.

Information debunking the original research starts on page 4 of the article.

The .pdf can be downloaded and printed if you wanted to share it with anyone.

HTH
