31. Incredible post ((((CoffeeCat))))

As much as it must hurt to reopen these wounds (if they ever closed), I'm sure you know what it means for other abuse victims to read stories such as yours. I imagine it must be a lifeline to a possible pathway out of despair.

Despite the cycle of abuse, often times people who've been through the worst pain come out the other side with incredible compassion and empathy. You are clearly one of those people.

Thinking back to my childhood (which was rough, but nothing compared to yours) I can recall a couple of school friends who acted out in sexual ways that I now realize had to be indications of abuse. I wish I could have understood and been a better friend at the time, but I was only a child.

Wishing you the peace and happiness you very much deserve.
