[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 289127, member: 1550"] klmo, (I am so sorry, I don't know your real name), you are NOT damaged goods. That mindset is why so many kids never tell when they are molested. So many women are molested--one in four--and I'll bet most go on to be wonderful mothers and huge assets to the community with a dash of mucho compassion that other people may not have. I HATE THAT MENTALITY!!! It is NOT TRUE. Don't ever feel that way. Well, ok, maybe you will, but THAT is when it's time to see a therapist--to put it all in perspective. It's too bad your mom used a therapist as a boogeyman. But you know better than her. I'm glad you can see her abuse in this area (and others as well). Frnakly, it took me years to "move on" from my abusive childhood. It's amazing how much your childhood affects one's adulthood for so many people!!!! If your mom is abusive and potentially willing to harm your children or you (even emotionally) I'd put a big distance between her and you. I have learned, the hard way, that just because she gave you life doesn't mean you owe her yours. My own mom disowned me and disinherited me. Flesh and blood mean nothing. Love is everything--those who love you are you true family, the ones in your heart. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
