Closure?

[dynastic_queen]

A few weeks ago, at a casual get-together, I heard that my childhood molester had died around three years ago. (Her name was one of many that came up as people were reminiscing. No one there knew what she'd done to me.) Supposedly, after I got away from her, she'd finished school, moved out of state, got married, had kids, and made a decent life

You know what also hurts, Peach? Why did the link in her chain have to teach her all that, instead of stopping the damn cycle? I just can't figure it.

You hang in there. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you, pray for you, and hug you in my thoughts, gal.

Wow, Stephe, your story was amazing! The writing just sparkled, and I was completely riveted!

Gracias, Mage. :) It was important to do this thing right, even more so than my fiction, you know?

You are GORGEOUS! <3

And wow... you are without doubt one of the strongest, bravest women I've ever had the privilege of meeting. I'm so sorry you had to live through that, but I'm so proud of you for surviving and becoming the woman you are now. You are an inspiration. (hug)

Not bad for 48, eh? (though I could stand to lose a bit of junk in my trunk LOL)

Thanks, Jen. Actually, with the company I keep here on LJ, and in my family, I consider myself surrounded by strong, brave women. ;)

That is an amazing, powerful, and very well-told story.

Thanks, smeddley. Your thoughts mean a lot.

That's a potent piece of writing. Well done, both in writing and in life.

Ah, jen. That gives me a real boost. Thank you.
