The past few years have proven to be very challenging to me, but now I can say it was well worth the pain. The day this all started I doubted whether or not I could do it. Looking back I am grateful for all the great friends I have made and for all the old friends who have come forward to help me through this. I would say the most important  thing I did was surround myself with support. It is too much for one person to deal with. It is also too much for one support person to deal with. The combination of good spiritual guidance, therapy (SNAP meetings, and a good therapist), medical treatment, and close family/friends is the secret. It took a lot to get through this, but once I decided to do it, I wanted to put it away right this time.

My life is moving on and I’ve wanted to be a great husband and dad, but with this around my neck I was always being held back. My hope now is I will be a great husband, dad, and someone I can look at in the mirror and be pleased with. Life deals us all challenges. This is not about what other people have done to me, It's about me, and how I have dealt with it. Turning to God or away. I was abused by a man who claimed to be a man of God. He was not.

As we are set to start work on the film I think this will be the end of my regular entries. I will only add updates every few weeks now. Thanks so much to all who have emailed/commented  to me, they have meant so much!
