Wow, thank you for such a thoughtful and sincere reply. I appreciate your insight into the traumas that men can have with their mothers, and the need to shed light into our unconscious and why we feel and do the things we do. I especially feel after reading your post, that young males need more positive male role models. Often times, women are the ones that tend to find themselves in a counseling or mental health support role. Having men in these positions can greatly guide many of the lost males out there.

And thank you for your affirming words. I am no longer afraid of my past and what happened. It was healing to confirm that when I wrote this blog, and even moreso with your comment! They say that the more you talk about your shame, the less control it has over you. Much love!
