Anon,

Thank you so much for writing back. Just knowing that you are writing about this to us, thinking about the effects it has had on your life, and thinking about getting some counseling makes me really happy. And I'm also very grateful that you know these things are not your fault. No child ever should have to endure the things you did.

Do you have insurance, Anon?

Safe Haven is in Knoxville, Tennessee; is that close to you? They have Men's and Women's group for adult survivors of child sexual abuse that might be the best way to get counseling if you don't have insurance. Here is their website:

I am wondering if there is any bus service or public transportation you could use if one of these places were close enough to you?

Keep on reading, thinking and planning, Anon. It's the one way that you'll keep moving forward and help get this issue behind you. Hugs.
