Isn't THAT the truth Kirk! Perps take these gestures and disguise them as tokens of friendship, and in many cases the boy is already so emotionally gutted that the feeling of being liked and wanted makes the bribe seem even more attractive.
But it's all a trick, and that's the cruelty of abuse - a willingness to betray a kid who is already in tremendous need and just wants to be wanted and noticed.
Much love,
Larry

Sunny,
My feeling exactly. Some days our sense of humor is an incredibly powerful resource. Resorting to it isn't an escape, it's a way of showing ourselves that even when things look SO bad, we should not allow our abuse issues to define us.
We are all guys with hopes and dreams, independent of what was done to us by others. Our sense of humor shows we are alive to that fact and can refuse to package ourselves in the wrappings that abusers had in mind for us.
Much love,
Larry
