A question for everyone............

Thank you...all of you...and I mean it sincerely. I did do this and lived to regret it but would probably do it over again if asked. I am committed to trying to do something.

But I am also writing a book and some of my abusers have passed on and some haven't and some are family. You can't include some and not others so it has become VERY hard to decide how to handle it. Do I tell the truth straight out or do I cobble together some of the personalities to make a composite unrecognizable person? It comes down to who do I hurt and who do I not.

I hate hurting anyone but I am not adverse to challenging anyone. That is why I sometimes challenge everyone here to think about where they stand. Challenges make us grow.

Allie and Lucky...I'm with you...I'd want to protect certain people as well. You are right to protect those close to who either didn't hurt you or did but peripherally. What good would come of it? Why hurt those who don't need to be hurt? We know what it's like to be hurt, don't we?

Healingjourney....you are so smart and I can't thank you enough for the articles on Munchausen but you are so scared of revealing your own pain. I'm sorry...(((HUGS))).

Opal 45..............YOU ARE AMAZING! Hero, girlfriend, hero! Don't know if I'd have the guts anymore.

Thanks everyone...............Jenny

Thanks...I hadn't thought about that. There are no police reports as there were more perpetrators than not in my mother's family. And a recent email from my oldest brother seems to implicate the family doctor in some of the abuse.

Composites it is!

gentle hugs..........Jenny
