I am a mid 30s man who was subjected to severe physical abuse on a daily basis by my father, my mother sexually abused me from a very early age and into my early teens. I tried to discuss the sexual abuse with my father but he saw it as an opportunity to force me to perform acts on him. I have grown up not knowing who I can trust in life and every friend I ever had, I turned away to prevent them hurting me. After much soul searching, I now know that it was not me, but my parents in the wrong and I am slowly moving forward with my life. I am at the stage now where I really need friends, especially people who can relate to what I have been through. I cannot go on feeling so alone any longer, so please feel free to say hi. Looking forward to hearing from you.
