It will happen, Linda. It just has to. You seem such a kind and warm soul that if anyone has good odds of finding a good and kind man, you will. You have been extremely strong to get through what you have, and you know what? With that kind of strength and determination to be well and continue with your life, you WILL recover and are going an amazing and special someone to share life and love - and nooky with, too, hehe ;)....I'm not sure exactly what happened in your instance - I was raped and beaten when I was 7 years old, only two people in my life know (my parents never found out). That garbage changes you big time on the surface, but what I found - if you survive it, you become that much stronger...that's the kinda stuff no one should ever have to go through....but somehow - we do, and life must go on.....!
