archipelago....I am sorry you did not get responses straight away, I know how invalidating that can feel when you are already feeling unheard and misunderstood.

I have not been on, but if I were I would have told you this..... I know how you feel, NYEve is the anniversary of one of the times that I was raped and I find it very hard...especially given there is no one to support me through this tough time. I can imagine how it must feel to have your needs pushed aside by a significant other who ought to be putting you first.

Now, I am glad to hear that you have worked through it.....and that you seem to have come to a great resolution, well done on achieving this despite being in a difficult place emotionally. You are very courageous.

Kind and caring to you
