- I didn't get the help, guidance or any kind of direction that I needed when I was going through my struggles with abuse so I made this video in order to give what I didn't have to those who are or have currently gone through this themselves.
In this video, I talk about what my experience was like, how it impacted my life and what it was that helped me break free from the thoughs, feelings and reliving the past and bringing it into my future situations and what the results of that were afterwards in regards to my life, my self esteem and relationships.
I hope this helps others to find a way to move forward and also for people to understand a bit more of where I'm coming from as well as why I have been so big into personal development.
So proud of you - night and day difference in your energy from when I last met ya! And I love that you're sharing your experiences so eloquently and freely - I shared this video with a friend who has also been sexually abused, and I'm excited to see the difference it makes. Love - T
Taylor Abrahamse thank you and please let me know what happens with that!
Proud of ya Mike for talking about this....I don't really remember much about when this all went down just that Ryan told me about it but I do remember that I just couldn't believe it, I couldn't understand how someone could do something so horrible....you were my friend and I felt so bad for you, for what you went through and were going through with everything coming out :( I wish I could've been there for you better but I'm sooo glad you had your cousin!!!
Kelly Thompson Thank you, I appreciate that and despite all the challenges it has worked out and not to sound cheesy but made me a better person....I'm not sure I would have even had the motivation to evolve the way I have and would have just went with the status quo...now I have alot more.experience, knowledge and motivation to make a difference for others
You are stronger than I am. I am working on my issues finally but nowhere near as far as you.
Adrienne Clark it's not a comparison thing. I didn't want to do this for a long time but I got to a place where I didn't really have much of a choice unless I wanted to feel completely alone for the rest of my.life.....also don't sell yourself short, you'd be amazed at how you can do the things you didn't think you could
Hi Mike! Wow, such a serious topic and video. Sorry to hear that this happened to you. Glad you're around and able to talk about it.
dvdphn thank you man, I'm glad I am too...I actually remember during that time in my life, I would continue to tell myself that it can't always be bad, there is always a balance and it will be really awesome later on....I just started to step into the really awesome part in my life.
Thank you so much for sharing your story Mike. It's definitely not easy to come forward and lay yourself bare like this. It takes an incredibly brave person to make a video like this to put out into the world. I am deeply sorry you had to go through such a horrific trauma. You obviously have been through so much in your life. To be able to learn and grow from it like you have, is something to be admired.
Thank you!
I actually was wondering how long it would be before you found this video!
This one was quite hard for me to do...I think it took at least 5 attempts to do as there was alot and I still didn't even mention it all and the video is quite long as you already know. I put this up there primarily for others whom went through similar to be able to have someone to relate and so they would feel heard and understood...and really the only reason I've been able to learn and grow from all the crap is that I had learned to see the lessons and the benefits from negativity and negative situations from watching Xena Warrior Princess. Which was also the same thing that helped me do the right thing and go to the cops despite the fear and despite risking my family turning their backs on me as I had considered that possibility before hand...they did end up doing that but I DO NOT regret doing what I could to put a stop to it and I never will even if I never talk to them again
MikeCam_on_cam well I think you coming forward like this was a cathartic thing for you. You had to let it out. Keeping it all inside would have continued to break you down. I am sure you are helping many people with sharing your stories and life experiences. If it helps just 1 person then it's all worth it in the end right??
Xena eh?? Interesting. I am going to upload a video on youtube soon with my story. You have inspired me.
I'm happy to inspire!
It wasn't the first time I told my story, I had told it many times before posting the video, I just felt at that time it was time to post online in order to help people...it was also an exposure thing for me because I was afraid that people would turn their backs on me because I was talking about something negative and people find negative things (especially heavy things), to be really uncomfortable...that was my fear and a pattern I had and I wanted to face that too because I intellectually knew that not everyone would respond according to what my fear was telling me...its just emotionally I believed that.
