[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 275152, member: 1514"] Like Star...I have some personal experience on this topic. Unfortunately. A couple of years ago I attended a group for sexual abuse survivors. Yes, it took me almost a lifetime to get therapy for something that happened to me from ages 3 to 18...sigh. I hope you can get your dtr help much sooner than I did. The book that was used in my group was excellent. It was called The Courage to Heal. It also had a workbook. Maybe your dtr would be willing to at least read and work on them at home...she would get something out of it. And it is written by a lesbian...lol. I had a problem for years thinking the same thing as your dtr about my private parts. I thought I was maimed. My mother told me I was deformed down there and she even took me to a doctor and tried to have surgery performed on me. She wanted them to have that surgery where they remove the clitoris and the labia done but no doctor would do that just on her whim...thank god. But all her talk and views left me thinking there was something very wrong with me which really messed me up for most of my life. I still have some serious leftover neurosis about what I look like. It took me really studying naked pictures in mens magazines to realize that people come in all shapes and sizes. (Im sticking to that story!) If you want to tell your dtr that there are other people you have "met" or know or have read about...something...that have had similar issues...tell her. If she would ever like to email someone...Im willing. I have been through many of her same issues. I did the whole bi thing when I was 17/18. I know where she is coming from. [/QUOTE]
