(((Silenthill))) you have nothing to be ashamed of. I felt the same way when my best friend roomate stole my checks and thousands of dollars. I felt so stupid for trusting her and because of abuse history, as one counselor told me i just feel ashamed and guilty for breathing. This just cemented all those feelings. But feelings arent facts like Hankster said in another thread recently. It will take time for you to heal. It is GOOD she is getting help. Your ex T like my ex roomate DOES need help. Not that it excuses their behavior. What your T did was utterly dispicable and such a complete anf total betrayal by a person you should have beem able to trust and you were in such a vulnerable position. If she is practicing rigjt now, i hppe she is under VERY close supervision. I'm so glad you reported her so she wont hurt others. You are very brave, Silenthill.
