I have been told that it is so much harder for a man to speak out. Thank you for your courage. Please, finish the book.

Karl, you are so brave to write this. I hope you finish that book. You are a great writer and I’d love to read it. Love to you, dear.

Yes, dust off that book and let another man know he’s not alone. It’s courageous to just speak out here in this format dear friend.

I also echo your sentiments with who would want to open up the pandora box of the memories you can’t recall. From my own experience I suffered PTSD right before I turned 40. It was one hell of a long time to find myself broken and fragmented. As a matter of fact my last blog was titled Scream Quietly.
It’s what we do in the deepest recesses of our minds.

Thank you for speaking out. The amount of men and women you help by breaking the silence is insurmoutable. (Hugs)Indigo

Thankyou for speaking out. I really wish more men would speak out; it would help other victims tremendously. You’re right about the code of silence. It doesn’t even have to be taught.

There doesn’t seem to be much out there for boys who were sexually abused. I hope that changes soon.

You’re right, Karl. It is time. And the Silent Survivor stuff is bullshit. It’s time to shout. It’s time to dance. And damnit, it’s time to live fully and with abandon.

You’ve earned it.

Argh, I hate crying. I know that’s an unhealthy thing to say, but I just HATE the FEELING of it. Did a little video experiment yesterday to try and make myself cry with music. It worked.

Thanks to all of you again. Amazing group of people, you.

And I’m easy to find, Sherry. My email address is in the sidebar of my blog. In fact, if you Google my name you’ll find me easily. Hell, if you type in karlerikson.com you’ll find me easily.

I’m so proud of you, Karl. The Code of Silence is meant to protect the abusers, not the abused: you have no obligation to protect those who hurt you any longer. And if anyone is able to find reason to think less of YOU because of what someone did to you, s/he’s probably not worth calling a friend — friends support you, not tear you down.

As I’ve said elsewhere, I won’t abandon you. *love and hugs*

What a huge, huge step you’ve made, just by posting here.
I’m not going to desert you or think less of you.
So proud of you.
