Ugh! Nicolette I know what you mean. Breast feeding far beyond the proper age is just abnormal. Women get away with so much and it's hard for me to admit that. Especially things involving children. My brother and I shared a bath and a room just fine up until puberty. So it would've been weird...

I don't think it's okay if I'm honest. I wouldn't say anything to her though. You never know what effects it will have on the grown adult. I just think bathing is a private thing to do like going to the toilet. I personally wouldn't if I had children. If it's a baby that's at breast feeding...

I very much appreciate your help.

Thank you for the replies. I'm scared to report it. I don't wanna kick up a fuss because these things are taken very seriously. I'll talk to my mum about it.

Something's bothering me right now. I just got back from the hospital with my mum where she had an ECG monitor fitted to her to measure her heart rate. I came into the cubicle with her and the doctor drew the curtains. My mother lifted her top and she was wearing her bra underneath. The doctor...

Well done for telling your story, and the people here are so understanding. I'm sorry you've been through so much. I've never had specific therapy for my experience because I backed out at the last minute. I'm glad your set up with someone.

I've just seen an article (written by a doctor) mentioned on another forum about "Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder" although I've finished therapy, I'm in no doubt that I have this. It even says in the article that most doctors haven't heard of it. That sounds right because I felt so alone with...

Haven't replied for ages because I was cut off the internet.... Thank you for replying, I'm so glad you did because I was certain this thread seemed like a "male bashing" thread! I haven't really considered that I could be asexual but now I'm thinking about it. I feel the need to just go along...

Thank you. I know that's a very common one which I forgot about - where a woman will see babies and feel emptiness. I have one polycystic ovary so my chances of motherhood are compromised. I found out when I was 17 so I didn't give a hoot at the time. But now I feel a bit like it's unfair and...

I think I understand how you feel. For me, I don't see the point of me participating in my own life or anyone else's (not in a suicidal way, that chapters mostly in the past for me now). For 2-3 months or so, I do well socially, listen to my good, forgiving, happier self then I just slip back...

I've been 90% single all my adult life. I've never been attracted to women so that's not the case for me. I see all kinds of women all the time hand in hand with a man in the street and it makes me feel awful. What do they do that is so great that a man wants them and stays around?? A magic...

Wow. This one has definitely struck a chord with me. These are beliefs I have had all throughout childhood, even though they were never ever said to me by my abuser. I still believe the first two I'm sorry to say. In my life being abused was the best experience I had with another human being...

Have you ever had the most wonderful intentions with a man only to realize later on that he only wanted you for a f*ck buddy? And you were together for several months, or years? Well I fell for it. It was the man I lost my virginity to. I didn't have a CLUE about men. I don't know what...

It makes me sad and very angry that society feels like it's okay for children to sexually assault/molest/rape children. People think the same thing about women... it really, really p*sses me off. Women are NOT saints! They do bad things!! Why do people feel sympathy (of all things) for women...

My honest thoughts are: I wanted the bastard to die like that, and I praise the man for killing him right there on the spot. All sex offenders need to be killed or just do us all a favour and just drop dead and die in ways that happen to good people everyday. But there's a part of me that...

OK, I have tweeted this question on twitter to one of the western worlds, popular metaphysical teachers... Marianne Williamson. This is what I asked: "the law of attraction & child/adult sex abuse - does it really say people attract abuse to themselves? I am a healing victim" and she tweeted...

I wonder what kinds of responses there would be if this thread was on a non-sexual abuse forum?

Yes, I'd say this is true. We now have a responsibility to break the cycle/step off the wheel. I know that if I don't heal myself enough and I have children, I'll just be putting them through the same crap I went through and they could even experience abuse and end up like me. Which is a no-no...

Hey I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you GirlPower - or anyone else in this forum...? I feel sick and anxious right now - and this certainly isn't a light subject. I can tell that your mother means a lot to you - I love my mother very much. It was my own opinion about my own situation. Because I...

People are gonna have their own opinions which they are entitled to voice - as long as it isn't attacking anyone. I think it's great that we're being honest, and maybe people aren't being honest enough..? I dunno...

Um, I don't really know what you mean... or how to answer that. My point was that the mother, (in my own opinion) is the main one willing to along with sexual abuse.

It most certainly does count. You've done a very brave thing posting here even though you felt so uncertain. I wish I could tell you: "no, nothing was wrong with this situation, and you were never taken advantage of sexually by this man" but I'd be lying. I'm so sorry this happened to you...

By nature, children are not responsible. Adults are. If a child gets abused by an adult or another child, it must be slackness of the parent/carer and in my opinion 100% primarily the mother who caused it by her thinking, whether she's absent or not she has attracted it to her children who are...

I like the story about ingredients. We all get some, but it's what we do with them that counts. Appreciating that you have some is also very important.

It's about influencing the now on a moment by moment basis. The next moment and the next and the next... and so on. There is no past or future, there is only now. The idea is that there is no time and that time is an illusion.
