[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658662, member: 1550"] We all do, Cedar. I am sickly addicted to books about abused children. I asked my therapist about it. A few actually since I've liked true crime and books about abused kids for some time. I like to see the bad guys lose and the kids win and be strong as adults. I like to see how they get there. My therapists said that I am trying to find my own story in those pages, but I don't get that, really. These kids had it worse than me. They were abused physically and sexually too sometimes. I have no idea why I can i identify with that. I know I wasn't physically or sexually abused. But the stories make me cry until their triumph at the end. Obviously they would not have written a memoir if they had not survived and done well and were now happy. Like us. Well, I know I'm usually happy...I h ope you are too!!! Cedar, all these kids I read about believe they are as bad as their abusers say they are UNTIL THEY GET AWAY FROM THEM. That's the part about the books I like. I skim over the abusing parts. I read the endings. David Pelzer did not love his mother. Good for David. His siblings told him "it never happened." "It wasn't that bad." Right. For THEM. Cedar, it is a bitter shock we all face. Cedar, a therapist would empower you. I'm sure you also show symptoms of trauma and having been abused. They will see that and call you o ut on that. If you get a bad one, fire him and move on. There are really good ones today. Things are different in psychiatry. I promise. I'm going to finish reading your postj [/QUOTE]
