thanks so much. My girls are 8 & 9. The past two months have beenan emotionalroller coaster for all of us. I was attacked and between trying to explain that and now PTSD, i'm afraid that i'm going to scare them. My rape counselor is working on setting up counseling for them too. It just makes me feel worse when i seethe wa they lookat me.

thanks for your support.I think this board my just be a big help.
