I'm sorry Paige. I don't really have any answers, but I feel for you.

When I tell people about the stuff that happened to me, I feel guilty too. Part of me still wants to protect the people that did it, I guess. Or I feel weak like I am fishing for something to be sad about.

I am hoping that as I get older and more used to telling the truth...almost religiously...I will start to have a better sense of self and ownership over myself and things like that won't take me down anymore.

Good luck!
