(((((billi_lei))))--You are not alone with this feeling---I used to carry my knitting needles on the subways and buses in NYC---felt safer--Oh, yes, I'd be knitting something--but the sick hand that tried to grop me got a shot with a knitting needle everytime !!!

If I happened to be sitting down, I used to get up and go over near the closest door,
or the end of the bus or train I was on; I ne'er liked that feeling--shudders...

No, you are Not Sick!!!

As to the other---check out WePow's site on Abuse--over on Survivor's of Abuse--
she posted it at the top---------It's a great site!! validation --hugs-theo
