Welcome Justdawn, I've been dealing with my issues for awhile, tackling new ones now. SOmetimes it takes awhile before we really take on the big ones (I'm 39). Ken

Hi ars, No need to talk much until you are ready. Getting used to everything is a good idea. A lot of good people here. Take care, Ken

Hi Cooper, Welcome. Ran into you once in the chat room, thought I'd say hi more throughly. I understand how it can be with external issues pushing one to confront the past. That is part of where I am. Let me know if I can be of help. Ken

Hi window2, Welcome. I'm glad that you found the site, and may it provide you with help in your healing. Ken

Hi, caleb, I'm another one of the men on here. This is as good a group as I've found. Many supportive people. Welcome, Ken

Hi, Mike, Another male here with experiences kind of like yours. You aren't alone. Ken

I'm glad to hear that you have someone supportive in your life that is offering what help they can. It is a very useful thing. Just remember that sometimes it can be frustrating for them since they want to help, but can't. They may frustrate you with their attempts to help, but it only because they care. Ken

Hej Tessan, I hope you can find what you need here. There are nice and supportive people. Ken

I've had problems sometimes with Firefox updates. It was my firewall. It worked correctly if I deleted my firewall rule for FF and recreated it, nothing else did. Ken

Thanks for all of the words of support. I've been dealing with some parts of things for awhile, but newer bits have come in lately. And I also believe that I've gotten to a new place in things. I'm trying to feel out what I need to accept and act on to move on farther. Thanks, Ken

I'm in my late 30s and am working through things that happened to me when I was 12-13. I was coerced and then forced into sexual acts with an older teen male. The more I work on things the more things come out. And also the more questions I have about how much of who I am (particularly sexually) stems from this. My main problems revolve around self-esteem/assertiveness issues and comfortableness with sexuality. Ken
