Male Abuse Awareness Week Event - Closing it out
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/butterflydreamstalkradio/2013/12/07/male-abuse-awareness-week-event--closing-it-out
I am pleased to see so many men starting to speak out about their own childhood abuses. Women started speaking out some time ago. Now that men are joining us, the true picture of just how bad childhood abuse really is becomes clearer and less easy for society and families to continue to ignore. I am honored to call some of these male survivors my friend. The internet is where we all met. You don't have to listen to all of these programs at once. Take your time and listen to them. The programs are archived for listening at your convenience. But please do listen to them and share them with your friends. We all do this to educate others and to offer support to all survivors.
I have one more link that I want to share with you before I close. It is a tribute to a great man and world leader who died this week - Nelson Mandela 1918-2013 R.I.P. This wonderful tribute is written by another male survivor friend of mine who calls his blog "The Wounded Warrior". Here is the link to the blog article:

Hope you all are having a glorious weekend. See you again soon.

Thank you Patricia for compiling this list of shows regarding male abuse awareness.
Lynn, You are very welcome. Thank you for all of your support. ((((Hugs))))
Glad awareness is growing. Great list.
"Please do not let stigmas created by perpetrators, to protect perpetrators, cause you to misjudge a victim. Sexual abuse does not make male survivors perpetrators. Perpetrators make themselves, by choosing to take pleasure from abusing. Men and women can both be perpetrators, so don't misjudge a female perpetrator by trusting them, and don't misjudge a victim of a female perpetrator by not believing them."
Jean Marie, Thank you. Your words are very wise. Perpetrators do belong to both sexes just like survivors are both male and female. Many still don't want to acknowledge that child abuse is so big of a problem but it is and that is why I and many others keep writing and speaking out about it. Only with awareness can we change anything.
