Hello friends.
This interview with a male MST survivor, is best introduced with these words from Lorrie Bunes, the wife of another man who survived MST:(and thank you for this Lorrie)
“When a person male or female is assaulted it changes their identity. The violation is part of them and they no longer trust their own instincts when judging a situation or the people around them. Its almost as if from that point forward they become a spectator in life hoping and praying that they will be safe. Some choose to cocoon themselves with familiar and safe surroundings but it affects them, their families, their children their entire way of existing. I think that the hardest part is watching the person you love just exist. It is a helpless feeling to try all you can to reassure a victim of MST that the world is not a horrible place and that there is hope.”
Lorrie Bunes.
