Sorry these are not in the proper order I am pulling them from posts on forums I have been on and I am feeling to lazy to change them around for now.

I have been looking and reading different web pages and forums for a while now and have discovered that there is almost nothing for males. There is help and support when we are children or adult survivors of abuse, but when it comes to being abused as adults I can hardly find anything. How many of us have read stories of men who try and report a rape only to be discounted or ignored. Or we are pushed off to a gay group, Orientation usually has nothing to do with the rape and this could only make the man shut down even farther. Something has to be done we cannot let our bothers suffer alone like we have. I am not sure what I am going to do hell I am still in therapy but this pisses me off to no end. Why did I have to try killing myself to get help why did I have to look so hard to get information? I think I might have found a reason to keep going on even if it is just to piss off the establishment and rock the boat a little. Thanks for letting this old man ramble.

Men and ASA help or should say What ASA help!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in the process of gathering information and contacts to set up some sort of outreach for men where I live. I am still in therapy myself so doing it right now would probably push me over the edge but at least I am gathering my eggs so I can proceed when the time is right. Where I am going to IOP: “Intensive Out Patient Therapy” there is a ASA,,” Adult Survivors’ of Abuse”  consular who agrees there needs to be something more and is going to help me. Part of the problem is ourselves we do not report. We suck it up hell nothing can hurt us we are men big strong John Wayne tough guys. Bull CACA!!!

I think and this is only my thinking that we need to help the younger generation to stay strong and tough but to also realize there will be times in there life it is OK to ask for help. How do we do that I have not the faintest idea I will leave that for the brainiacs. 

What do we do now for  men is to get groups formed dealing with men and their issues and yes I know they are going to be pretty lonely for a while but I am hoping with good advertising and exposure more men might reach out for help. OK enough of me rambling.

Have the best day you can I am trying to!

I am going to add a couple links to websites that have helped me and I hope they will help someone else
