[QUOTE="nvts, post: 281320, member: 3814"] MattsMom! I agree with all that say that you're an incredibly strong, kind a wonderful person. But now I have to say this to you - please don't be mad at me - I'm a little worried! At no point have you said if you've had any type of counseling on the issue. This creep did things to you to form portions of your life and make you live through things that no child should. You alluded to things in your life that went wrong because of this menace. But what worries me most is that you can't sleep at night and you're crying a whole lot more than you did before. As you see by the responses, there are a ton of us who were used and abused by people we knew. Even though you're feeling really strong, I'm thinking that you should be talking to a sexual abuse counselor. You can do a search to find either an individual counselor or a group. Either one, you'll accomplish a few things. 1. you will have someone that can watch you carefully for depression - I almost feel an undercurrent from you that you seem to feel responsible for the victims that came after you. 2. you can talk at length with women who have been able to get their abusers off the streets. 3. you can then find out their resources on how to approach other victims in order to prosecute. 4. you'll have a track record showing that you would support your lil' sis (if she did foster with you) with mental health supports in place. Call your local rape victims support groups - they will help you find out what you need to know! God bless! I have you and all of his past and present victims in my thoughts and prayers!
