Thank you for validating my feelings. I don't think I would or could bring it up again. BUT, she is on my list of people to call in a crisis, no reason needed. She said "day or night" and I know she means it. I think I'll just be comfortable talking with her about her issues for awhile though.
I'm trying not to let the "I knew it!" monster out but it's out...I told my Therapist today that I "might" try again in another 30 years. He said that seemed reasonable. As long as I wasn't giving up trying all together. :)
I guess the truth is I never told when I was a kid, partly because I wasn't sure of anyone's reaction -- would they believe me? Would they look at me differently? And I have a lot of shame and guilt about that. But it still hurts to have those fears confirmed. And even admitting I'm not all that strong and together doesn't make people believe it, which leaves me alone with it all.
