Male Survivor & Victim Support @ Myspace

 
A long-time volunteer of the PLF Reverend Darrell donates his time to talk to victims, survivors and those males who live with the excruciating pain and shame of having one of their children or family members violated and abused.  He is a Christian but invites people from all faiths
to contact him for help and support or just to talk.

Reading about your situation can also help if conventional therapy is too much for you.

Book: Trauma and Recovery
The aftermath of violence-from domestic abuse to political terror, by Judith Herman, M.D.  A must read to understand how abuse effects victims, so that you may not ignore these effects.  This book is recommended by Jim Hopper, Ph. D. of Harvard Medical School, the World’s Top Researcher, Therapist, and Independent Consultant on the subject or Male Victims of Abuse.

Book: Victims No Longer
Men Recovering from Incest and Other Sexual Child Abuse by Mike Lew.  If for whatever reason, you will not go talk to anyone.  It is better to read yourself into some form of healing then to do nothing.
