wisewoman,

I think the best you could do was great! How awesome you could maintain those personal boundaries and stay true to self! I failed miserably there I'm afraid. It worked out alright, but I didn't maintain the boundaries that I needed to and, as a result, got hurt more than a few times when I dealt with the father.

I'm so glad you're less frightened today. I think you're a very brave, wonderful person.

Be safe,

Kimmydawn
