YES

this response made me tear up. i just can't seem to say i was raped by either one. logically, legally i guess it would. but i just can't seem to emotionally admit it. i'm very confused and still have some 'mother' issues to deal with (don't we all...). but i think (selfishly here) that i need to heart EXACTLY what you wrote, in fact i need to hear it again and again. maybe if i hear that from enough other people, then it must be true and the denial with stop. cuz it's the denial that's now causing me heartaches. back and forth, back and forth its like i'm on some possessed teeter-toter!all i can call them now are humiliating mistakes that i got myself into.
thank you so much Tamar.
hugs to you.
