Dear friend,

I. had. no. idea.

I am so furious/sad/angry/sick that you were put by that by a person who should have been willing to defend you with his life to prevent harm coming to you.

I am so sorry.

You are wonderful and loved.

Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your frankness in sharing this story. I’m reminded of a Parade article: http://tinyurl.com/2dbpm7. The key for victims is *not* necessarily to forgive the abuser, but to forgive yourself. It is a powerful message.

I used to think the disassociates was better, made it easier to forget. Never in my wildest dreams did I think in my late 30′s that wall would come crumbling down, because in the end it was still there waiting in the background of my subconcious.

I get it, you have to learn to love the person you are, to understand what happened as horrible and ugly as it is, was someone elses sickness. These days I like me as I am. Yes, the nightmares come, and I still get scared of what I see. But I’m still capable of love, compassion and yes, even forgiveness.

The thing of about being a victim, is someday discovering you are no longer one, your actually a survivor.

Well said and written. (Hugs)Indigo

You’re so right to have stopped hating. It eats at your soul like battery acid – and it erodes the good along with the bad until there isn’t a whole lot of anything left. It sounds like you are focused on healing and that’s fabulous. And you’re speaking up and speaking out. That’s fabulous, too.

You “get it” much more than you know.

I, too, cried when I heard Grace’s keynote. It was if she was speaking right to me and no one else.

Much love to you. You are strong & brave. Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you for sharing, I’m also glad that I’m not the only one who doesn’t think hate is a waste of energy. I get it, tho I wish none of us had to.

I am still trying to sort through all my emotions from today – but thank you all for being so wonderful. I really appreciate it.
