Betty R.	Hello :) January 01, 2007 9:28 PM Hello, my name is Betty and I am a domestic abuse SURVIVOR!! I am happy to help anyone, anytime...I know how scary it is to be in a relationship where you simply cannot understand why the person who is supposed to love you, can hurt you so deeply...I have been there, but like I said, I SURVIVED! Peace, Betty [ send green star] [ accepted]
anonymous	To my new friends..... January 02, 2007 1:58 AM I am a survivor too. You all are my light in the darkness. I am happy to be here. I hope I can help too. [report anonymous abuse] [ accepted]
Mariki L.	Hello from Mariki January 02, 2007 9:55 PM Hello, my name is Mariki. I am new here. I am a survivor of a 20 year long emotional abusive marriage. I was like a rape of my soul, every day of my life for 20 years. At the moment I find myself at the anger stage of my healing. I am so ANGRY! for those 20 years of suffering! Well, that's me. Sorry, I'm not allways so angry and negative. By nature I do not like to do harm, even when harm was done to me. Blessings, Mariki [ send green star] [ accepted]
Betty R.	Hi Mariki :) January 03, 2007 5:47 AM Mariki, I just wanted to tell you that you are brave for leaving an emotionally abusive relationship. I have experienced both physical and emotional abuse. I found that the anger took some time to work through. I understand where you are. It hurts - but, it does get better! If you ever want to talk, I am here, always. I can tell you that each person deals with pain differently, so you may take a different path than I did, but I do understand where you are coming from... Peace, Betty [ send green star] [ accepted]
Psycho W.	Betty & Mariki January 03, 2007 9:32 AM I'd just like to say how brave both of you are for putting up with what you did and for so many long years. You are true survivors in my eyes and im so proud of you both. The anger will go in time, i know you probably dont believe that but anger is what we all have to deal with, if we dont relise our anger it can effect us in such a bad way. Anger is good to have, you know you are still alive when you feel anger. Take Care the both of you hugs [ send green star]
Kali I.	Welcome Mariki and Betty January 03, 2007 10:14 AM And thank you both for showing such bravery and sharing your stories with us. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Sharron G.	Thank you, Kerry.... January 04, 2007 2:39 AM Thank you for the invitation. I am a survivor of a 15 year marriage of physical and mental & emotional abuse. It was hard to decide to leave, but I was ready to die if necessary. Glad to be here. I have been free since 1981, and determined to never let anyone do that to me again. Now peace is my mission. I am sure that is what good came from all those years. WOW the lessons we learn! much love and peace, Sharron [ send green star] [ accepted]
Suzanne R.	Sending hugs and prayers out to all... January 04, 2007 5:21 PM Thank you for sharing your stories, I am sending hugs and praying for you all to find peace within!! I am trying very hard to find that pease as well, I am a survivor of incest, my father raped me from the time I was 3 til I was 13, my mother was emotionally abusive, and physically abusive--the only positive role model I had in my life was my grandmother, she taught me how to love, and taught me about God, but she died when I was ten--I hope to learn from some of you and I hope I can help some of you!! Take care all and god bless!! Hugs, Suzanne [ send green star] [ accepted]
Sarah M.	Healing and resilience! January 06, 2007 4:57 PM Hi all, I am new here, but not to healing. I have been working for 18 years on my healing journey. Yes, discharging anger/rage is definitely a part of the healing process. Ultimately I have found that what I am processing is loss. And loss must be grieved. I believe that is what this entire healing journey is about: grieving losses. I also want to give courage to those who are going through it now: you DO come out the other side. I am no longer angry. I do have some sadness from time to time, but it no longer dominates my mind. My "permanent" outcome has been a chronic stress disorder which prevents me from working full-time anymore. Mixed blessing; not saving much, but having time to exist, pray and tend to my dented heart is wonderful. I'm not the "winner" my perfectionism told me I would be when I was younger. However, I no longer care so much if I win or lose. My focus is on maintaining emotional equalibrium. The parameters of success have changed for me. I'm very grateful for all that I have learned; still feel there is much for me to learn. I desire to help others. Please contact me if you need support. Blessings to you all!

Robin I.	RE: Introductions January 08, 2007 2:06 PM Hi All, My name is Robin and I live in Texas. I am a survivor of Domestic Abuse and Spousal Rape. I also have 4 children who are also the survivors of molestation by their father. My youngest was never physically molested to our knowledge, but he witnessed the events that took place. On May 10, 2000 my oldest son told me about a game his father would play when they would get into trouble....to my horror it was not a game. I have spent the last six years recovering and putting our life back together. The most helpful thing for me was something called Body Talk www.bodytalksystem.com It is hard for me to describe but it works. I have also learned to heal myself. I now volunteer with our local Rape Crisis center and help others to over come their abuse. Please know that I am here anytime you need me. God Speed Robin I PS If you need to talk let me know and I will send you my email address [ send green star] [ accepted]

Susan L.	January 12, 2007 3:44 PM I'm glad you are all here and brave enough to come forward. Welcome and remember you are among friends. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Pamela W.	January 14, 2007 1:42 PM I guess I'm ready to tell you all a little more about myself. I am a survivor of childhood satanic ritual abuse. You can't believe what this does to a child's mind. My best friend is also a survivor of the same abuse. She isn't doing very well. She has been in a psych unit for a couple of months. She is the only one that truly gets me. So right now I have no one to turn to that understands what the hell I'm going through. I'm not sure way living is so hard right now. Maybe it's because I feel so lost without my best friend. God I love her and miss her so much. [ send green star] [ accepted]

January 22, 2007 5:12 PM Pam, my heart goes out to you, I too was raped by my father from the time I was three til I was thirteen, it wasn't ritual satanic abuse, but I can tell you he had some really satanic rituals!! Please if you ever need to talk to somebody, I would love to be able to help you if I can or at least listen.....I understand how lost you must be with out your best friend!! It is difficult when you love someone so much and they understand you and love you back and then they can't be there for you right now--I know I could never take her place, but I could be a friend!! Please know that I will be praying for your friend and for you!! [ send green star] [ accepted]

[report anonymous abuse] [ accepted]
Sharron G.	Brie.... January 27, 2007 7:26 AM It is through helping others that we are able to help ourselves... We are a reflection of each other, so whatever we do to encourage another encourages us. It's like a smile...when you smile at someone, don't they usually smile back.. it's contagious... so what you are emitting from your being is transmitted to others, and they receive it at their level -- where they are and they respond from there. Find your best feeling and hold on to that... much love, Sharron [ send green star] [ accepted]

Pamela W.	May 24, 2007 10:26 AM Hi Rachel and welcome, For men raping a women is all about power and controll. Not about getting off on the sex act. They get off on the controll.
