| 2009-11-12 | Anonie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your response. To answer your questions... to get to the happiness I am now wasn't easy and more of trial and error and luck. I spent a year to myself, of sorts, allowing myself time to recover and go through the grieving (so to speak) of all that had happened. Come to terms with being able to at least talk to myself about all that had happened, even though it took many months to get the words out of my mouth outloud to myself without feeling too distraught. There were many ups and downs. As for my current life, a friend introduced me to my now husband and we just really clicked. He is a very patient and very kind man, who although i have never spoken in great detail about the grade school issue (though about everything else) always could tell that I had a deep pain at the time and encouraged me to keep moving forward, understanding and helping me through hard times. Either way, years passed and after about five years maybe six... I had finally come to the point where I could handle the memories of everything that had happened and truly enjoy ..... |
| 2009-10-14 | laura | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | For going through as much as you have, you clearly and compassionately offer advice, which is greatly appreciated. It helps to hear that my feelings of anger are not uncommon. Thank you for your advice. |

| 2009-10-07 | DEBORAH | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I thank you for your very quick response. If there is something I can also do to help I would be honored. Thank you for your time and knowledge. I will try and take this advice. |
| 2009-08-30 | Melissa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much for your response. It helps to have someone who has been and who has felt much of what I am feeling now respond to my concerns over this. I will bring it up in my next therapy session, but I wanted a second opinion just in case I was being unreasonable due to stress. |
| 2009-08-23 | Rick | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Kim, I appreciate your quick and caring response. I know this has been a nasty journey for my wife, hopefully this will start her on the road to healing. We will be in touch. Rick |

| 2009-06-23 | Matthew | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Kim, Thank you for your thoughts and advise. I have myself made some plans for her safety. Its not much but she has access to my home and all of the security features that I have setup. I have spoken to her regarding seeing the woman that helped me and I think shes really leaning that way. Its hard for me to sit back and see her in pain. But I'm becoming stronger and stronger. I'm keeping my personel feeling hidden and she has opened to me more than I could have ever hope for. I'll let you know what happens in th future. Thank you again Matthew |

| 2009-03-20 | Katie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Kim I just want to thank you for your understanding, and also the timely manner in which you responded to my question. I still feel confused, but it's comforting to know that you understand. Maybe (hopefully) my therapist will be as understanding, that is if I can get the courage to bring this up in therapy. Thank you again. |
