Ross said: ___I really don’t know what to say. I stumbled across this website while looking for information about P.T.S.D. child abuse, sudden death of a parent, fire-starting, etc. Being male, in the post-feminist revolution, I feel very awkward writing on this website as if I don’t have the right to participate, which makes me very sad. I’d like to describe something very briefly…..____

Men and women are welcome here on this journal. I encourage male comments as well as comments from women. I don’t think you guys should be quiet at all. I don’t see you (men) as a threat to women simply because you're male. To me, you are a survivor and that is what I look at. The thing is I wouldn’t have a problem even if you were not a survivor of abuse and left comments. The only thing I've ever asked people that comment is to act like they have some sense. Don’t leave spam on my blog, don’t use any racial slurs, don’t call me names, etc…. For me, there is no gender when it comes to the phrase abuse survivor.
Heck comments from men could be of assistance because we have males in our system that have never communicated with other male survivors. Comments by men can be read males in our system like Robert or Steven. So, to any male that reads this journal you are more than welcome to read and comment with the knowledge that like the women you’re expected to not flame or spam me.
Welcome to Sundrip.

I just wanted to apologize for my last comment. I didn’t realize that there was a space within the blog that you left responses. Oops. I’m just a little fired up due to the responses and lack of responses from my mother and my family over the past day, days and weeks… This really sucks. But whatcha gonna do?
