Personal Struggle — Part 9

This personal narrative is meant to be read in chronological order starting with Part One.

I took a bit of a break after publishing my last blog post. It takes me a lot of time, energy, and emotional bandwidth to be able to write my story. Also, a lot has happened in the past couple of weeks.

I want to thank everyone once again for reaching out. I’ve talked to many people who are also abuse survivors and our conversations were incredibly insightful and profound.

Part 9:

Part 9 of my blog was up for a few years until my son asked me to un-publish it, since it touched on some very personal and painful memories for him. I respect my son’s privacy and this part of my blog is no longer available.

Please continue to read Part 10 of my narrative.
