I agree with everything Another Eyes has said, so no need to repeat LOL. Also, don't apologize to me, you were just sticking up for yourself there.

And young women and children often blame themselves for their own sexual abuse or rape - it's very common, not pathetic at all! The sad part is, sometimes even when they've grown up and KNOW logically they are not to blame, they still feel the guilt underneath it all. It's something a therapist will help you with. It would be nice to have the therapist you've known for a long time but please USE the therapist you will see - tell everything, don't just say little and go home.

(((HUGS))) sweetie. ♥

Oh Benska,


I am an old-timer (A long over) who lurks occasionally and I remember when we were both on the boards at the same time. (((Hugs)))

Hi Benska,


My heart breaks for you, you and I share a common incident that happened to us as young girls.

Hi jen,


Hmmm, I was so sure that my posts had been deleted...I definitely could NOT find them earlier.


I won't say much here, but I will send you an email as you've so generously offered. I think that perhaps you have a lot to offer me.


I'm still in somewhat of a scrambled state, although "things" are starting to die down (marginally anyway).
