I learned to hide

I don't want to remember but I can't forget --I am 3 and its nap time my mother is crying and I do what I can to stop her crying.
it ended when I was 8 .

It wasn't my fault and I have always known it but it gets in the way daily even at 65 I can't give myself a break . I am one of very few males that was sexually abused by their mother .

I don't want pity i just want peace in this sad world that never seems to learn .

for talking about this. It's rare for men to talk about it, so thank you for being brave and doing that.

Of course it wasn't your fault and it's a very good that you recognize that. So many survivors don't and that's so much a part of the healing process. Of course there's so much more, but that's a huge hurdle for many to get past.

No pity from me, I join you in wanting peace as well.
