thanks to one and who are would respectfully request that another thread be started for the "what ifs"......

this is the first time, ever, that this subject has been so openly discussed and so much has been learned..and not only about this subject, but about one another. AND we're doing it in GENERAL. more people are reading it and are learning more about sexual abuse victims and the way our lives change.

i will admit that it is starting to creep me out. i was just getting irrirtated .about .. what i shall call, "the violator defense program". i'd like to be able to come here and discuss as thoughts hit me. i am no interested in a round table discussion about the predators. as i haven't been since that subject arose.

as we say in Oklahoma and Texas, once again, "that dog won't hunt" and "i don't have a dog in that hunt".........my dog is for the survivors/victims.......and she's here for the long hunt......

it is extremely interesting that hillbunnyb heard a program, yesterday, and a priest had continued the abuse for two years......and nothing had been expressed concerning the victim.........shame, shame, shame on the priest first and the radio talk show host second.........thanks HBB.

p.s. maven, every little bit of information that is exchanged here validates something somewhere in every survivor. it might just be one sentence or it might be an entire post.

we're allowing ourselves to open up and be vulnerable and exchange our deepest thoughts and feelings. i hope that this information explains better to you, why we don't want the "what if" program that you're selling. thanks, pat
