Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Dear Donna, The way I look at it, the only choices I had were go insane or work through everything. I didn't think being crazy was all that much fun so I started the work. I was very lucky to have the Dad i did, I know how hard it was for him to be so supportive he did his very best to understand though. He was very much a cross between Wayne/ Bing Crosby/ lol and a crazy old coot. I never doubt he is always looking out for me though, i have a few scared ex room mates to tell ghost stories. I just shrug and think That's my Dad. My mom's and mine relationship has always been strained at best but when the chips are down like when my g/f was sick in the hospital i know i can talk to her and she will be as supportive as she can be for as long as she can be. That is just my mom, maybe the next time around we will figure out a way to be friends, in the meantime that's just my mom and how she is. I have done some public speaking and published a few of my survivor poems/stories, it's a lot easier for me to talk about my past than it is for people to hear it. When I was asked to do my first panel discussion on sexual assault my Dad told me that if I did go in there and talk maybe i would make it easier for the next person and it was my responsiblity now that i had some stable ground under me to do it. Thank you for your kind words *s* _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
