		<description><![CDATA[I read a survivor’s story of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of another boy… and I cried. Not for this particular woman.  She’s strong.  She’s a survivor.  She has chosen the path towards healing…and even though that path may take a lifetime it will be a lifetime of growth and positive change…and even though [...]]]></description>

I became obsessed with masturbation after that.  So [...]]]></description>
