i was with Dragon for five years before we even considered branding. Huge and gentle cyberhugs to you. i agree with what everyone else said. Permanant marking is NOT play, ever. She was firmly in the wrong to do the deed without the meaning the deed implies.

You will get through this. Somewhere there is a loving and caring Mistress who you will love and who will value you and the open, loving heart that you bring.

Goddess send you strength, healing and love,
