I dreaded to read this thread.
But now I finally decided to do that today. Don't know why. But I am glad I did.
And wow denuseri you really did let something out of me.
I have been sexually abused by my mom's boyfriends (yes more than one). And I lost my self esteem and anything that was inside of me.
I got into some wrong crowds and done somethings I aint proud of.
I have been physically abused by a man I had given my life to and took me and my kids along time to heal. (Not completely)
Yet I haven't met anyone to actually make me feel like I am worth a damn. I currently have a boyfriend and he isn't any different from any other assholes I have met.
Anyways what I am wanting to say is that I now see you as a mentor. If you can heal from something so horrible and monstrious than I know I can too.
Thanks for starting this post.
