In the end though, the silence just ate me up though. Sharing is what really has been turning things around for me.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905687875330038162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582653647524635093.post-83123454860939090912010-09-12T03:33:29.230-04:002010-09-12T03:33:29.230-04:00Oh, and I loved the comment of a friend to whom I ...Oh, and I loved the comment of a friend to whom I turned when I needes support a few years ago - she said, "Don't bother me with that, everybody hastheir own problems."<br /><br />Well, now I know on whom to depend.Diandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570498251611083259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582653647524635093.post-65144359634915576652010-09-12T03:32:08.972-04:002010-09-12T03:32:08.972-04:00I had to think a while about what to say to this. ...I had to think a while about what to say to this. My older sister and I were sexually abused as children by a "friend of the family", and when we told our mother, her response was, "Stop lying, you only want to be at the middle of attention anyway." It went on for almost a year and only stopped when we had to move because our father took on another job far away. Luckily, our parents never were good at keeping contact with people.<br /><br />For my sister, this resulted in morbid obesity, drug experiments and some rough spots in life before she found her husband and was finally able to settle down, emotionally as well as physically. She has a beautiful daughter and is finally losing some weight.<br /><br />For me, it resulted in autoaggressive behavior, depression and suicide attempts. Fortunately I finally met my boyfriend when I was ready to face this part of my life, and I am pretty sure things are looking up again.<br /><br />Funny how these little things can affect our lives.Diandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570498251611083259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582653647524635093.post-89355969327933467382010-09-11T00:32:12.684-04:002010-09-11T00:32:12.684-04:00I can relate to a lot of what you wrote.
