April’s Carnival Against Child Abuse

Yes, it’s time to start thinking about what you want to submit to the April carnival. As this month’s host, I’m adding a theme for the month. In addition to the regular themes of Advocacy and Awareness, Aftermath, Healing and Therapy, In the News, Poetry and Survivor Stories, in honor of the month of April, I’d like to focus this carnival on the theme of rebirth/renewal. Whether you choose to view that as the renewal of nature that comes from Springtime, through the religious point of view of Easter, or as simply as a chance for Spring cleaning, if you are thinking of renewal as a Survivor this Spring, please take the time to submit a blog post to this edition of the carnival.

I’ve scheduled the carnival to be published on Friday, April 17th, so you’ve got until midnight EDT on Weds. the 15th (Tax Day in the US!) to submit your article. But don’t wait for the last minute, if you’ve got a good post to submit, do it any time!

  • Speaking Out

    Being a survivor is a challenge, and healing from childhood abuse is a struggle. Don’t let anyone kid you about that. What it’s not is a death sentence. There is hope, there is joy, and there is life. It may be a long, rough tunnel, and the light at the end of it may seem dim now, but it is there. Survivors need to know that, and they should hear it from us.

    My wife yesterday decided to be generous and get me a gift certificate for a massage, in the hopes that maybe trying something like that would help me with the headaches I have to deal with from time to time. Of course, given the issues I sometimes have with being touched by males, as a…

    Thanks for doing the carnival – great idea. I will post about Passover – a holiday which is all about freedom, cleansing, renewal and hope. Perfect for the carnival. I’ll let you know when the post is up.
