volunteer: I BECAME A MALE RAPE COUNSELOR part four
- 09/24/13 01:31 AM
The subject is daunting but real and I recommend you visit the four part post if you haven't already. Trauma of any kind is no respecter of persons and people hurt all the same way...within and without and any help one can offer or render to another in need can go a long way toward recovery. Help is what we are all here for and none of us got to where we are without the help of another HEALING CAN TAKE TIME The calls would come in, the stories would break your heart, the victims would all handle the episodes differently: for example. … (13 comments)

You … (0 comments)

I thought the word "MALE" rape counselor appropriate because it was unheard of when I did this back in the eighties. I was in Real Estate and thriving at the time. Money was coming in from three solid businesses and I could not spend it fast enough. Had the cars, the home, income property and the goodies and I seriously thought...How can I give back as a way of saying thank you so much for this success HM-MM...WHAT'S THIS?
