I think she probably does tell me that it’s normal, I just don’t listen very well when I feel ashamed. Unlike you I still haven’t learnt to say no, which really gets me into some very difficult situations as you can probably imagine. It’s as if I have no right to my own body and sexuality. Which turns into a feeling that I have no right in any other sense either. It confuses me terribly. It’s almost as if I’ve lived my life through other people’s desires and needs rather than my own (which are pretty whacky too, at least the few that I am aware of).
How long have you been in therapy? I see from other posts that you are almost out of it now. I have only been going for about six months, and find that I can hardly work or do anything else at the moment. I spend so much time just curled up on my bed licking my wounds.
Thanks for the offer of Bubba – he sounds great but it might work out a bit expensive as I live in Africa. Guess I’ll have to make do with the people I can find locally.
