My Story – Forced to “Kill” My Sister

I have been working on recovering a memory for a while, and I finally got enough of it to blog about. I am still reeling from it (writing this the morning after), so I am just going to write the memory. I haven’t had time to process it yet. A few nights ago, I “saw” [...]

Sexual Abuse is “Theft”

On my blog entry entitled Orgasm during Rape or Other Form of Sexual Abuse, a reader posted the following comment: I’ll tell you what [sexual abuse] is…it is a theft.

Another Disturbing Dream

I was attending a sleepover at a school/church function (places where I felt safe as a child). I was tired and went to sleep early. The beds for the sleepover were lined up against the wall like you see in an orphanage or boarding school. Other people were still coming and milling about while I [...]

Imagery of Warrior and Little Girl

I had an interesting “vision” (for lack of a better word) last night. The first half is safe for all readers. I have included religious triggers for the second half of the blog entry.

I heard on the radio yesterday that more alleged victims of Jerry Sandusky have come forward. According to this article, the New York Times reported that about 10 more alleged victims have come forward (which is consistent with what I heard on the radio) but that the Pennsylvania State Police have not confirmed the number.

Weird Dreams

I was plagued with weird dreams last night. I was visiting with friends at a mall in my hometown. I can only remember one friend (P – used to be my best friend in my 20’s, but I haven’t heard from her in years), but I think there was a second one there, possibly my [...]

Projecting My Own Stuff onto My Kid’s Situation

My kid (N) is having an issue at school. You can read the details here. Update – the third party (K) still does not want to be N’s friend even after his mother explained the situation. N’s best friend (P – different “P” from the child N had an issue with) is also friends with [...]
