A statement that needs to be made

[pantystomper]

Last night I went to a friends house, filled with happy, carefree children running around. I thought to myself, how wonderful it would be to go back to a time like that. When you have not a care in the world. Nothing could hurt you. You are invincable. A time when you knew nothing of the tortures that would be faced as you are thrown into the

Oh, babe, I know words can carry little meaning, but I'm so sorry. I went through something similar a few years ago, not nearly as horrible, but I know the shame & all your feelings. You're a very strong woman & you have people beside you & you're not alone. Thank god you're alive & functioning.

Yes, thank God.

I know I'm not alone, I have the most wonderful group of friends. The best support system I could ever ask for. I thank Him every day.

& that's how you're going to get through this. Even if you can't find justice through the legal system, you'll find it in yourself.

[pantystomper]

Thats what I'm afraid of. If the police dont get justice, my boyfriend, the Scot....is very angry about it. He's quite fiesty.

[oddessgoddess]

Yea, that's the guy's response. When my situation happened, it wasn't enough for legal issues. But when I finally told my boyfriend & ex, my ex took action without me knowing at first. He ended up tracking the guy down & beating the crap out of him for hurting me. I was so upset, but that's how most guys express their hurt. Guys don't like to admit that they're hurt & helpless.

that's not always an attempt to release the pain... for a lot of guys, it's merely an act of vengence....wrath... i have a lot of friends that think like me... you don't hit girls, you don't hurt girls... violate that rule and the response is animal instinct... hurt a female friend of mine and let me meet you face to face... hell, just let me see you hit a girl in front of me... i don't care who she is... that shit ain't right...

but yes, if it was my girlfriend, pain would enter the equation... and that only adds fuel to the fire...

[oddessgoddess]

Yea, & some of it is that protection instinct. You hurt what I take care of & I'll hurt you. Especially if it happened when the guy wasn't there to make it stop.

[tastexofxcopper]

exactly... hurt someone i care about and make them feel helpless, and i'll make it 10 times worse for you...

[pantystomper]

Yes Sam, that just about sums it up.

And yes, in a way they violated HIM too. I mean...right now we have to worry about the fact that any one of them could have given me some STD. What if I were to give it to HIM? It just all sucks ass.

Hahaha...I cant even get laid before my man leaves for 18 days.

[oddessgoddess]

That's one thing I can't stand...the way shit like this can come back & slap you in the face once you finally think you have a hold on it. I didn't even think of STD's & when you realize a new way this impacts your life, it's realizing it's happened over again. Same feeling when my father died...I'd finally get a grasp & think of a new situation & wham.
