GhostWolf's Writings

The articles listed here were ones that I wrote and posted to a recovery-oriented newsgroup. I found the newsgrouip quite by accident in late 1992 while rebuilding my computer after a system crash wiped it out. Unfortunately, the advent of the web resulted in the newsgroup being flooded with spam. Finding recovery-oriented newsgroups proved to be a pivotal point in my life; exposing me to my own denial about many dysfunctional areas of my life. |

Abusers, Survivors, and Self Hate
- In early 1993, several posters were questioning why they hated themselves for not being able to stop their abusers; sharing that part of their self-hatred was because their bodies had reacted to the abusers. What follows is what I posted in response to those threads.
-
How to Kill Love
- My prior marriage was over for years before I finally emerged from denial and realized it. I shared the struggles by posting to a newsgroup - This post shared how my ex-wife had slowly but surely poisoned - killed - whatever love I once had for her.

The Perpetuation of Perpetration
- I have long wondered how abuse transfers from generation to generation...
and a flame war on a newsgroup directed at recovering abusers provided the
trigger.
Caution: This article contains explicit descriptions of sexual abuse and pedophilia, and has triggered people who are not abuse survivors. If you are an abuse survivor, be aware reading this article may result in abreaction and flashbacks.

What If?

Why Dig into the Past?

Words Do Hurt
