Well,

I hadn't thought of this in a while, but after reading Kimmydawn's post I thought of a time when i was pregnant with my first son and a dentist tried to abuse me. I guess that's abuse in and of itself. I pushed him away and he left the room, so nothing really happened.

I panicked and left the office and put it out of my mind, but not until I told my husband what had happened. I felt like I was making it up, becaue it happened so quickly.

About 6 months later he was in the newspaper, having been arrested for abuse of patients. He was prosecuted by the district attorney.

I felt so validated because I now knew I wasn't making this up.

I hope you can find a place or a person who you feel safe talking to. Do you belong to a church? Is there a rape/counseling/crisis center near you? What about a hot line? Just so you can begin to talk this through...
