So this is what happened to me

[madmouse]

here

except the rape wasn't just attempted but real and frequent and I was always on my own.

Other than that it could have been my story.

Sometimes I still tell myself it can't really have been this bad or other teacher would have noticed. But that hope is gone now. It's all horribly real. And I feel awful.

I'm coping, but need to get it out. DH has already had his share of dealing with it as he wisely witheld the news from me until I had a good day. Been to see my friends tonight but they were both shattered and i stuck to light hearted stuff.

aw thanks woeisme

DS was better by Tuesday afternoon thankfully

Today has not been too bad, but it has been too busy so I'm buzzing

Going camping with friends this weekend - will be good to chill out but I need to pack everything tonight!

How are you doing?

great ! hope you get the weather ! camping is very soothing for the soul.
I am good actually..a bit better..like you , I have been very busy but in a good way
here's to progress
lol

mostly good anyway

thinking of you madmouse - hope the camping weekend takes your mind off things xx

Ooh, wishing you good weather. And a very chilled out weekend.

Aww thanks both - it has been a good weekend - enough sun that I'm glowing and a bit burnt. We went with very good friends who know my history and who have supported me through PTSD, so when I struggled a bit there were hugs on offer and plenty of distraction.

DS had an amazing time with 6 people (adults and older children) fussing over him and taking him on wild adventures including about 20ft up to the top of an assault course obstacle with my friend (good thing I trust him!!)

Exhausted now as sleep not good, but male half of friend couple is a very early riser so had some company - normally when camping it is just me waiting for boys to wake.

So glad you had good times madmouse , and DS had such excitement .
