Hello, I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (five perpetrators from ages 4-14)and now I am working on my masters in counseling. I am taking a class in which I need to do a research project. I have chosen to do a project on how childhood abuse effects marriages.
My abuse resurfaced in ways I did not know possible shortly after I was married and I am curious and interested in other's stories.
If you are interested in taking part in my research, please e-mail me or post here. I will check periodically for responses. If you e-mail me please put in subject line: Abuse Research so I know it is regarding this.
In your posts or e-mails, please respond to the following:
1. Age you were at the time of the abuse
2. Any details about the abuse you would like to share regarding the severity of it and prolongation. You do not have to go into detail about the actual abuse, and I honestly prefer that you don't unless you really feel the need to it.
3. How has the abuse effected your marriage and relations with your husband?
4. Anything else you would think pertinent to my subject.
I might have more questions after reading your story.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Sandy
