She needed her parents to be on her team.<br /><br />It took a long time for her to tell me. Longer to tell her mother. Even longer for her father.<br /><br />I don't think her parents ever gave her what she needed.<br /><br />Because she was a child when the abuse happened. She tried to tell them the guy made her uncomfortable.<br /><br />But he was a "good Christian man" in their eyes.<br /><br />They didn't listen.<br /><br />I think they will always blame themselves for this. To comfort is to accept their responsibility in it happening.<br /><br />I don't see it happening.<br /><br />I don't know your situation, but I hope your parents come on board.<br /><br />The first step is always the hardest.<br /><br />I'm glad you have a supportive spouse and a good therapist.<br /><br />And this telling of it, the anxiety, the regressing to a child, captured your feelings perfectly.<br /><br />Thank you for telling it.Kelly K @ Writing w/ Chaoshttp://writingwithchaos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739107202118962075.post-41853356284571657952011-10-11T14:05:35.458-05:002011-10-11T14:05:35.458-05:00You shared just enough here to bare your heart.
