Men Talk August/September 2008

Breaking the Silence Around Sexual Abuse
Honestly talking about my child sexual abuse, sexuality and all the subsequent effects has taken me through many layered self-explorations over decades. The Men's Center has been an important resource through it all, from initially showing me men had complex feelings and could even talk about them and be supported. After a childhood of fear, shame and neglect, I learned to talk about myself and my life and feel the support of having others listen and understand. However, I've found child and adult sexual abuse has been and remains a complex and difficult subject that is mostly avoided at the Men's Center as by men and society at large. |
