    Sexual Assault Seeing Him

    I personally think therapy is so important. Could you try again, you never know you may find someone you really can trust. I just want you to be prepared if you do decide to see your grandfather. Although I have never confronted someone, I have heard they may not respond the way you think they...

    Sexual Assault Seeing Him

    I am happy that you will get that chance. Do you have a therapist? I can imagine this would be very traumatic, seeing him again.

    Sexual Assault Seeing Him

    Ok, I am so sorry. I just realized, you do not NEED to have answers from that particular person. I WANTED to have answers, but that does not mean that you need to have them, I am so sorry for suggesting that, in fact, to each his or her own. I just personally wish I could have had that answer...

    Sexual Assault Seeing Him

    In hindsight, I think they know what they did. Maybe they pretend to not know, or it's too terrible for them to remember, maybe they were under the influence. But, NO EXCUSE. I do think that they know. I wish that I had my dad's take on this but, he died before I was able to ask.

    Sexual Assault Seeing Him

    K I feel for you so much! I would have loved to tell my Dad what he did to me and how it caused me so much anguish. However, he died young (in my eyes ) . On his death bead I told him how much I loved him. I never got to ask him questions. I never got to ask him why he did it. I thought oh...

    Never Been To The Ob/gyn

    This is very embarrasing for me to say but it is true. I have never been to the gyn doctor. I am so scared, but know I should probably go. I don't know what will happen. I don't know what to expect. I would never tell them my situation. But, I do know that I should go. What's worse is that I am...

    Depression & Feeling "different" Has Ruined My Life :(

    I was reading these posts, and I cannot believe how absolutely 100% I feel this way. I tell my husband all the time that if he is going to pick a movie for us to watch when his friends comeover to please make sure there is no nudity cause it kills me. I get very embarrased, pissed, just every...

    Setting Boundaries

    I just read this again. WOW!!!!! It truly hit the spot that I relate to. You are very talented in putting emotions, however far off from your actual ability to feel, onto paper. I definitely appreciated you sharing this!

    Crying

    I agree 100%! I can feel emotion over the most nothing of things, or when not directly related to me, such as, my friends dad's very sick, I can show major emotion. So it's like we have it there, but not where we need it most. Atleast that's what I think. It's very frustrating!

    Crying

    Crying and emotion, so difficult and so easy. At times where I would like to be perceived as strong and professional, I get reduced to tears, like at work. On the other hand when I am in therapy and dealing with things I should cry and show emotion about, I just can't. I put up an absolute...

    Giving Up

    Pi I am so sorry that you feel this way. I too, feel much of the time the very same way. Might I say that I am sure you are not happy being miserable, I think perhaps you know no other way. I can absolutely relate as I'm sure many others on this forum can. Personally, I keep wondering why I...

    Domestic Violence

    Has anyone here ever been in an abusive relationship? I feel like it's no big deal and we can manage cause most of the time it is okay. I sometimes think people make such a big deal because they havent ever experienced it before. I feel its just like being a kid and getting into fights with...

    Hi Marie! Welcome to the forum! :hug:I am sure you will find much support and understanding here, just as I have. I totally understand the walmart and car driving too close thing, I panic with them both. But we always have "dancing in the rain" that is soooo fun! One of my favorite things to...

    Being Different

    My whole life I have felt different than everyone else. Like nobody could possibly understand me or know what I was going through, however, this place is different. I personally feel very much connected and not so alone. It's amazing when you no longer feel alone. And although it is unfortunate...

    Little Girl Inside

    Thank you Nyx and I hope your rough patch smooths out very soon. I too am having a very difficult time and I truly feel like I'm losing control of my whole life. Im clinging on to hope, I guess that is all we can do sometimes.

    Little Girl Inside

    I don't think it sounds silly at all. In fact lately nothing seems to make much sense so I keep just trying to tell myself that everything is going to reveal itself in time, so perhaps he too will show you a glimpse at some point :peekaboo:. I mean I still can't believe that I got a glimpse of...
