Never Alone

I just went through my records for new survivor blogs, adding to it from new sites that I came across yesterday. Twenty new blogs, just like that. That makes just over 100 survivor blogs since I first started searching the net for this project in June. Quite a few of the survivor-bloggers I’ve yet to contact regarding this little project. But adding them last night, one survivor after another, it was almost kind of eerie. I got the same feeling when I researched the dozens of children who have died as a result of violence across the state of Indiana. That research was for a charity that I started last month, just after getting a lot of the initial work done for this project.

I kept getting the sense of all these names and faces crying out to me for validation:
“See me. I’m here, I’m REAL. I exist…and I’ve suffered in ways you could never imagine. Most of all REMEMBER me. Don’t forget that all of this happened. Don’t leave me behind…”

Survivor Pages Updated!

Twenty-one new blogs, written by survivors of childhood abuse, have officially been added to my Survivor Pages! The Survivor Blogs are now each divided according to their specific blog hosting services, or blogging communities. I’ve done this to help unite members of individual blogging communities. For example, through hosting services such as LiveJournal, individuals can send friend invites to other LJ members. Here at wordpress.com we can easily subscribe to each other’s blogs through our WordPress BlogSurfers, and keep in contact. Just click on the icons here to surf through the listings. Enjoy!

Note: My contact information is listed below. Please, if you know of any survivor blogs that you think might be helpful, or if you own one that isn’t yet listed, please let me know.
