Eric Jennings<p>for many years i had an existential dread/fear of remembering/facing my childhood abuse. every time i got close to it, i would become paralysed with fear and/or run away, turn to drink or drugs, and otherwise avoid it</p><p>if you&#39;re a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MaleSurvivor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MaleSurvivor</span></a> of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SexualVictimization" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SexualVictimization</span></a>, especially as a child, i am here to say that finally going there was not only not as bad as i expected, but also quite freeing and liberatory</p><p>it really *does* get better, and i only began to heal after i was able to face/accept what happened, and to learn to talk about it. staying silent for so many years was more psychologically damaging than the abuse itself</p><p><a href="https://menhealing.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">menhealing.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
