Exactly! AND, I take the cover off hard back books to keep "nice" while I read them. I tell my kids, "use a bookmark, for heaven's sake!"
About the movies -- I'm gonna start asking YOU before I watch stuff. I'm shocked at how many movies have stuff that triggers me now. I never noticed before how prevalent rape, csa, hitting women and children and other awful stuff is. I'm reduced to westerns and disney movies. (Which is fine, The Undefeated is my favorite movie)
I need the list of what to avoid.
Which is why I love books.
Oh, except someone gave me "Me and Emma." Not a book to read if you've been abused. Still had to finish it though. Wanted to make sure they were safe. Self-torture in action. *sigh*
