Other Survivor Blogs

Calvin a Male Survivor of Sexual Abuse in Canada writes a very short blog however in one post he poses a very important question. “How Would You, as an Adult, Respond to Your Abuser? “ and Leah writes an excellent Survivor/Thriver Blog. I especially liked her write up about Harold Kushners Book: Honey and the Rock.

I have found that blogs written from the Angle of Ritual Abuse Survivor/Thrivor just doesn't seem to be around much on the net. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.
On the otherhand perhaps I'm just picky as I only seek blogs from R.A Survivors that have really done a lot of recovery work. Finding the R.A survivors in late stage recovery is extremely difficult to find.

Something quite awful hit the Ritual Abuse Survivor Movement and that was the backlash( False Memory Syndrome) . It is as if went underground, but didn't dissapear. This is not good. As for every R.A Survivor that calls either a local Crisis Line or Rape and Sexual Abuse Help Line or seeks Counseling it makes me question what kind of assistance is out there for them. Where are our Mental Health Communites presently standing on the issue?
