I Am Alone In My Family

My So-called Father... The man who wants me to call him Dad sent me an email suggesting that I should hang myself until dead.  That is a paraphrase, but you get the gist of it.
This was after I had reported him as a child molester and contacted him to tell him I was hospitalized for suicidal ideations and that his abuse was a cornerstone to all my issues.

I am simply unable to fathom a father telling his son to do the world a favor and commit suicide; Let alone a father who was a rapist and molester.

My mother and sister died last year and I have a living brother and sister who are somewhat estranged from me.

Thankfully, my acquired family is very tight knit and supportive.  I am still a lucky man.

You are a hero and a survivor, my thoughts go out to you.

Thanks for the kind words. It is hard for me to see myself as a hero; my father truly destroyed my self image. But I do hope I can do some good for victims out there and help them to find a voice.

Well you are a hero of mine and as a victim of child abuse myself, you have helped me find a voice. Love and peace my friend.
