I suppose you could say I went looking for trouble... although, that's not really fair. it wasn't *trouble* I was looking for, per se. but... I did open a window into a past that I knew to have been fraught. (it kinda goes back to the "if you don't want to know the answer, don't ask" thing, which is very relevant to tarot as well

You and I share...

way too many similarities in our pasts for it to be just folly that we are reading of each others experience. Can I just say... knowing you, even if it is only ever in this forum, has been a wonderful asset to my life.

Thank you M.

You are a strong, powerful, empowering and human work of loveliness.

Hugs.

Amazing that you have the courage to tell your story now. I honestly have to say that I like this Mermaid alot. Now I know that your strength has come from a dark place that you put some light into. Your house of love continues to build and Im glad you can stand above that hole from where you climbed, triumphant.

aaah fb. it's intense, isn't it? I signed on and immediately had a handful of folks who used to taunt me endlessly in high school immediately try and "friend" me with declarations of "OMG HOW ARE YOU I MISS U!" um, really? but we hated one another in HS.

I'm so sorry to hear you had to live through that. I had a situation in high school nearly identical, except I was at another school's prom, got raped by two guys and my date decided I was a slut. None of this shit is pretty, noone's situation is better or worse, it's all just awful. I am also appalled at this Polanski business.

But one thing I do know, is that you're an incredible, strong, powerful, and loving person. The assholes didn't take any of that from you. And you're a person I'm really glad to know.

*sending hugs if you want 'em*

Thank you for sharing your story! I was raped when I was 20 by my 30 year old boyfriend...that is when I lost my virginity. I actually blocked out the experience not realizing what had happened until years later when I was taking a sociology class. I had a paper to write and I chose rape as my topic. It was like opening up the flood gates of memories. I forgave myself, but it took many years to forgive him. In fact it wasn't until I saw him many, many years later and I was out with my boyfriend (now my beloved husband)....the jerk off acted like he didn't know me. We were visiting some friends at a SCA picnic and my ex was part of the SCA. I hadn't seen him in years. In fact our breakup was just him not calling me anymore after he met two other girls at a SCI-FI convention. I was very naive to his charms.

HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
