I understand about not being able to talk to family or friends about it. They blame me or think it wouldn't have happened to them, how could I be so naive? Well, he was a con man. He conned me. Aren't we taught from little on up to trust our doctors? If our parents don't know what's wrong with us, they take us to the doctor.
I used to give my trust away. Now people, doctors, everybody has to earn it.
Sorry, off my soapbox.
I am so mad! (Not at anyone on PC.)

yes it makes it so hard to trust people who are supposedly there to help us when we were abused and taken advantage of under that same claim. it took me years to trust my T now. even going to see a doctor for something health related makes me nervous and have extreme anxiety. i understand the feeling stupid as well. but you arent stupid. you really arent.
