“I put my life back together and now I’m running my own thriving business with my husband.”

I couldn’t find the words to tell anyone what my step-father did to me and I thought I’d be trapped in a dark place forever. Coming to Dramatherapy has help me express myself in a different way and I realised that I wasn’t the one who betrayed the family, it was my step father.

It was a relief to call the helpline and finally talk about what happened to me.

I didn't think anyone would believe what my father did to me, I didn't want to believe it myself. I kept trying to push the memories down and but they were always there, and it took me almost 60 years to tell somebody.

Support for Males

I had the confidence to just block him. It was such a relief, I wish I’d done it sooner

At first I was flattered, he wasn't anything like the idiots at school. But then he kept trying to persuade me to send him pictures. He’d message me constantly until I answered him.

Warwickshire Helpline

I used the on-line support service anonymously to get through what had happened to me.

My uncle always used to say that ‘Family is the most important thing’ but that didn't stop him from raping me. I’d worked in domestic violence law for ten years but I’d never really thought about men being raped. I needed support, information and strategies but I didn't want my wife and kids finding out.
