Joe44040 Member MaleSurvivor Registered: 12/28/12 Posts: 10 Loc: Ohio	I have been dealing with my CSA for over 20 years when a triggering memory opened the flood gates of my abuse at the hands of my older brother. I have been looking for a place where I feel that I'm not alone and I'm glad I found MS. _________________________ "As a man in his last breath drops all that he is carrying each breath is a little death that can set us free."

cant_remember Member MaleSurvivor Registered: 02/26/05 Posts: 865	Joe, Now you're home. We heal and succeed together here, and we try to catch each other when we falter. I would write more, but I've been drinking.

Jude Registered: 08/08/12 Posts: 792 Loc: New England	Hi Joe, Welcome to MS. We are men of all ages, all walks of life, with one thing in common: we were all sexually abused at some point in our lives. You will find alot of men's stories here, some like yours, some very different, but the results that we all live with: shame, anger, fear, difficulty with sexuality and relationships, are similar no matter what we've been through. Keep posting and reading. You'll find alot of support here. Good luck!

ScorpioBlue Registered: 11/29/12 Posts: 3 Loc: NYC Metro Area	Welcome Joe, You are not alone here. I, too, was sexually abused by my older brother. And I have been on the path of recovery for 20+ years. But MS is the first and only place that I have felt understood, truly accepted and SAFE - especially in a group of men! I'm glad you found us!
