My worry for telling about my abuse was that no one could comprehend actually how bad it was...my worry was subsided for my T really 'got' me in the authentic way.

My T became physically sick, throwing up as I told him.
I guess he cares that deeply about me, or his lunch does or did.

But it helps to write it out too, and your friend did not ask for it.

Once I was listening to a radio call in show and the caller had been raped eight times. The host proceeded to tell the caller she did not know ways to protect herself. This made me mad. That host was a problem host and unfortuneately there are no minimal requirements for one to obtain their own radio show.

What your friend asked for was a listening ear, she did not ask for anything else.
