The latter is what was done to me when I was but two or three years old. I now recall the whole incident, know his name, etc. but for nearly thirty years I had suppressed it, while suffering from terrible anxiety and guilt when it came to anything even potentially sexual. As an adult in my 20s, I had never had a successful relationship. In deep auto-regression, I finally found and fixed it by following the sense of gagging I had under such conditions; it was that deeply buried. There were no suggestions, there was no therapist, I didn't trust those idiots and couldn't afford it anyway. I fixed this myself.
I say this because I am trying to communicate how much damage this kind of crime causes to a child. It doesn't have to be life long, but it surely can be. It could even be fatal, whether in suicide or some other terrible end.
It was not an easy thing to forgive, but it was something I had to do. Even so, as a deterrent and as a just punishment not having anything to do with me, if this creep in any way harmed a child, he should hang, publicly.
Good for you, CO. That took guts.
Stay well.
You’re in my prayers Carry - thanks for being brave - thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the ping. I’ve been taking a break from doing the heavy lifting on the ping lists; maybe I should punch the time clock again and start doing some.
I am so sorry you had to experience such horrors. So glad that you managed to deal with it and grow beyond it. I agree that every single pedophile should be executed.
I am glad the abuse stopped with you. I hope you’ve had a good and full life since then.
Yes, and these are where “homophobes” really are made. Little boys who reject this deviance and stand up against these evil doers are in fact, real homophobes.
“...The latter is what was done to...”
God bless you, friend.
“...if this creep in any way harmed a child, he should hang, publicly...”
Fully agree. Kids are innocent, and should be protected by every and any means necessary.
