Quote From: sunnygrlHello Holly,
I Thank You! for posting a response. I'm so sorry to hear what you went through as a child. I remember my Mom telling me that also "It Is Your Fault" she claimed. Well we both know it wasn't our fault and we did not deserve what happen to us. A couple of months ago I confronted my step-father over the phone and he appoligized and FINALLY! admited what he did to me. It was a BIG relief and I finally feel I can move on now. I'm still going to get theraphy for this because it is a struggle sometimes, with the nightmares and flashbacks. I want you to know I'm here for you Holly or anyone else if you need to talk.
Take Good Care!
Wendy
I think we, collectively speaking, grief for a family we never had and never will ... for unconditional love.
I would love to have closure. I do not even entertain the idea. Wendy I am glad that your stepfather apologized. I will not have the chance at admission of guilt let alone an apology. My stepfather died in a mental hospital of an alcohol related illness.
Thank you for you feed back and understanding.
Holly
