:iconendorell-taelos:
wow. I just stumbled upon this.. I don't know if I actually qualify to be placed into this group.
Firstly I can remember at a very young age I knew a saw something I shouldn't have seen, an Old man physically playing with himself in front of me. I was so afraid that he would touch me and play with me.
Secondly and ever since then I have sort of been afraid of men, including ALL of my mothers boyfriends that had always ended up being domestic violence, and I witnessed EVERYTHING, it was very traumatic but the most recent thing that was the worst for being traumatic was her last boyfriend/fiance that lasted for 5 years, he was an alcoholic and was very dependent on the substance.. For many times mum tried to get out of the relationship with no real luck. Mum went to the resident policeman (who I know was best mates with the guy)to file the report of being in domestic violence, but no justice happened what so ever. In fact my mother and I were literally disowned and thrown out of our state, we weren't able to ever stay in one place for a long period of time, woman's shelters didn't want us, no employer wanted us,and not one would take the time to believe our story, probably not even her own sisters and brothers.. for many months we had lived in our car. full of clothes, boxes and necessary essentials to keep surviving, we even at times had to steal to survive. Luckily though after her psychiatrist had read all her files about everything we had been through he finally was the one that believed us and it was then that things finally settled down.. probably a year had passed and then she had committed suicide from being bipolar and deeply depressed.
I don't know.. but I guess I am a survivor now.. but.. I don't live for anything of purpose.. I'm still trying to find it.

Well back to this club, it is an awesome thing I must say.. I suppose it would help the survivors to talk to each other and help each other through situations.. Well done.. But is this club now closing down?
