I am so tired of this sick, sick world. So everyone knows the recent news about the three women that recently escaped their monster of an abuser in Ohio, what they went through I could never imagine and I feel so much for them. Wondering what shock they must be in, how they just want to be left alone, and yet the media will not leave them alone,...
I haven't seen my t for about a year now (I think). My deductible was due again, and than to top it all off I lost my job. I have been doing good up until the last month. My dad's wife getting sick and dying has now got everything stirred up again.

I have new insurance, but my deductible is $350. My t requires his clients to pay the...

My dad's wife died

Well, here we are... everything slapping me across the face once again

the doubt
the questions
the guilt
the detachment
and my stupid, idiotic self

Still, the doubt of my memories. The flashback I had of someone molesting me when I was a child, was it my father or someone else? How can I even have that question in my mind...
But here I am again. I don't think it matters how much 'better' I get or try to move past this, Pandys is always my safe place to go back to when I am being bothered by it again, need support, needing to write, or just needing to think on 'paper' which is what I do here. Many times I come here to type out my thoughts or...
I am going to try to have a better day today. I am home with my kids all day, house is clean, homework is caught up, there is nothing that needs to be done today. It is a beautiful fall day. I am sitting here as I am typing, looking out my sliding door at the pretty view feeling okay, my windows are open and fresh morning air is blowing in, I can...

Is this it?

What now? I am wondering if this is it, is this what it feels like to be 'healed'? I don't think that we ever will truly be healed, how can we, but we can make big steps towards healing.

My question is, is there a point where the healing goes no farther? Where we are at a sticking point so to speak, where we say to ourselves,...

Frustrating

I am not coming here much anymore because most the time when I post it doesn't even go through for some reason, seems like a waste of time now. The mods tried to help, but I think that it is on my end. There is an error that comes up.

I just wish I had a friend to talk to sometimes, and to understand. A person different than a person over...
I feel stupid for being so opinionated and harsh against sex offenders when I can't be with my own father, but this is ridiculous. I don't understand what it is going to take for people to get it!! I am not a psychologist or a therapist, I don't know what reasoning is behind people molesting and raping children, but I feel like...

Can you imagine......

Can you imagine..

Having your first sexual experience being with your father before you are old enough to even know what is happening

Praying every night to die

Hating yourself so much that you want to hurt, you need to hurt, and you wish to hurt

Thinking that it is normal for someone to hold you down and rape...
