For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

these are my 2 new cats.
Gorgeous, soulful, energetic, playful and affectionate to each other and us and curious social cats for our visitors.
So even today my nephew mentioned those times, when he was hooked into the social group of the dominatrix among my biological children, but we kept it very brief, and relevant to him and I and today.

Thanks @Jacques
You also know how hard things can be for young males these days. Not everything handed to you on a silver platter. It's a tough confused world.

Yes... The state of the world.
For some reason this seems important to post. Now that I can afford the time and read the news myself. Yes there are some similarities, though I did Silent Protests and pulled back from my Redress application, so no money and no gag order.
Being in foster care and institutional abuse tends to have consequences.
