Women's Peyronies Disease Forum
A Peyronies Disease forum just for women
Frustration, confusion,
helplessness, insecurity, anger, sadness, guilt, hopelessness,
inadequacy… As a woman, have you felt any of these or other like
emotions in relation to your situation with Peyronie’s Disease? For the
women in the Ladies Room, these and many other emotions have too often
been the norm. Ignored, they have often lead to opening the doors to
many other issues that plague and possibly destroy what was once a very
loving and fulfilling relationship with the men that they love.
It can be a difficult road
for the women that are trying desperately to love and support their man
with this condition. Some men just shut down and build a wall of
protection around themselves that even the closest person in their lives
cannot penetrate. For other men, their anger and frustration at their
present reality causes them to lash out, however inappropriately, at the
one person that they feel safe enough to handle the anger without
leaving them. Is it fair? Is it just? Absolutely not! Is it
understandable? Completely! When you are dealing with a condition
without any clear-cut cure, and without resources for coping, these
reactions and feelings are completely normal.
No one has universal answers
because everyone has different issues and situations. But the
underlying tone is generally the same. Your man is suffering from a
condition that is taking away their perceived ability to engage in any
intimate and sexual manner. This is causing heartache for both of you.
You are feeling betrayed by something that you have absolutely no
control over. For women this is entirely unacceptable. By nature and
natural design we are caretakers and usually have the mindset that we
can find the answers to assist in correcting any problem. Often the man
will reject in disbelief that this is happening to him, and not even
allow his partner the knowledge that something is wrong. In this case,
the partner is left clueless as to why the intimacy has ended, and why a
wall has been built between them. We may be left to wonder, “Is it
me?” “Am I no longer attractive or desirable to him?” “Has he found
another?” and the confusion for the partner builds. It is easier for
some men to just ignore it and hope that it will go away. However, it
seldom does, and the tension, misunderstanding, and heartache become
overwhelming. Before you know it the elephant in the room has taken
over the whole house!
Does any of this sound
familiar? Where and who do you go to in order to talk about how you are
feeling when communication with your partner breaks down? Where do you
go to learn how you can help him to overcome his natural feelings of
guilt, shame, and embarrassment over this very private condition? It is
not a topic that most feel comfortable discussing with co-workers, or a
church ladies group, family members, or even with your closest friends.
This is generally something difficult to understand or relate to on any
significant level, unless you have dealt with it yourself.
This is the reason for the
creation of “The Ladies Room”. Here you will find that special,
private, place to share and offer support with other women that may need
to express and get guidance for their feelings of emotional turmoil.
You will meet and be able to
talk with ladies in varied experience levels. This ranges from those
that have been dealing with it for a long time and have successfully arrived
at a point of acceptance with their partner. They have learned how
to communicate in a healthy manner with their spouse about the options
available to them. Others are in that searching stage and are dealing
with the feelings of rejection, inadequacy, confusion, and many other
such emotions that rock their world on a daily basis.
Together we can offer each
other, ideas, understanding, hope, and general support to understand
better how we can be the much-needed supportive partners to the men that
we love as we deal with this debilitating condition. You will find that
intimacy and sexual life with your partner does not have to end with
this condition. While it may forever be a bit different than it was
before. Different is not necessarily worse, many find that it can be
even better than it was before, because you will be looking at life and
the options for a relationship in a whole different light.
This special forum is
designed to be only for women so we are free to discuss our
emotional feelings without the input of men. While well meaning, men
are wired differently than women and at times just do not understand the
position that we hold. In order to have that security level maintained,
it is imperative that registered, female members indicate their
gender in the profile they submit upon registration. Please do not
be discouraged if you do not have access immediately upon registration.
Access to The Ladies Room needs to be given manually by the moderator
after confirming your status. At times the screen names and gender
indication are not clear and must be determined. At times, the
moderator is not online to give access. Rest assured that after gender
is verified, access to the Ladies Room will be given within a very short
period.
If you have found a need in
your life today for this kind of supportive environment, I sincerely
invite you to register today and join our group. Our Ladies group, as
well as the main forum, are devoted to giving all who need it the
support and understanding desperately needed in this fight against
Peyronies Disease. Your will find that not only are you encouraged by
participating in the discussions, but that you will in turn be a great
blessing to others seeking that same understanding voice and ear to
listen as they reach out in desperation.
If you have any questions or
concerns regarding The Ladies Room or gaining access to it, please feel
free to contact the moderator, Christine at
Christine@peyroniessociety.org .
