"In My Fathers Arms, A true story of incest" is a very interesting well written story of survival.  It was written by Walter A. Milly lll.  I found it interesting that when he described many layers of emotional reactions and disorders I could really relate.  Of course all of my personal experiences were all in different order and timelines.  I was kind of reliving all of what I had experienced.   I also just read "How to cook your daughter" which was written by Jessica Hendra, daughter of Tony Hendra a well known writer for National Lampoon.  I have always enjoyed reading biographies and autobiographies.  I find other peoples stories very interesting.  With reading as many biographies about survivors of child sexual abuse I find it interesting and a little disappointing that I am not finding these people extending some kind of discussion on really looking at how to end the epidemic of child sexual abuse.  I have written some of my story and have hopes of someday having a book released.  In my book I would certainly have this blog as part of it and "The works in progress" on how I would address child sexual abuse.   
On a side note:  I recently did my taxes.  I could not help stop and really give it some thought when I read the question,"Are you permanently disabled?"   Sometimes I believe that I am disabled.  I am certainly a much different person for having survived incest. 
I think I was disabled.   I am a highly productive person.  I have many hopes and dreams.  I try to stay optimistic.  Pretty normal.  
I Think I Was Disabled.
