I had a really hard time in a group like that. I spoke to the therapist who lead the group outside of the group just fine. In fact, I still do, she is one of my good friends. Good luck on getting things out...

Hey hun I know what it's like 4_wheeler_chick July 24 2004, 22:01:52 UTC

Hey hun I know what it's like to have to stand up and tel people your story. My name is Cassie I am almost 16 years old. % Years ago I got taken from my mom and dad and put in foster care. My mom physically, sexually, emotionally, and mentally abused me. It was hard to tell people about cuz I was afraid of how they would see me. Dent get me wrong IM not miss popular or high class like that but I wanted to start over but I was afraid that I wouldnt be able to. When my parents went into jail 2 years prior to that I was asked to testify against them. I wasnt afraid to testify against me dad but I was afraid to testify about my dad he never hurt me like my mom did. I really loved my dad alot and in some way I thouhgt he loved me to. Well when the day came that I was sapposed to testify there were reporters there and t.v. cameras. I was scared out of my mind but then my dad and mom waved the court hearng wich means the pleeded guilty. Everything went into the papers which wasnt so bad. Untill my whole lifes story started to be printed I ( ... )

Thank you so much, it's good to hear from someone who's been there.

Are you safe now? Happy? Ok? I hope you are...I'd love to stay in touch with you.

Yes hun I am ok now. Well kinda, I live with a family who wants to adopt me. However, I really don't want the adoption because I know I have parents and I love my dad. But other wise yes I am safe I have run into hard times like dated guys who think that because I have been hurt before they can hurt me but I dont let them. Another good thing I have in my life is God it's so great to know that he's there for me all the time. When I think about people who would hurt me I know that there is one person who will protect me if I ask. Thats God I am really glad you e-mailed me back I am pretty new to this site so I dont know peeps on here. So yea anywayz hun if you have anything to talk about I am def here to talk I know its hard when you dont know if people are there to listen well just to let you know I am okz. I will talk to you a bit later

I'm glad that you have God in your life. He's the only one I know that can really make things better, even if a situation doesn't change.

You're new to livejournal, huh? Would you like to friend eachother?

Dealing with issues... singpuccini August 1 2004, 06:23:08 UTC

Hello! I can totally relate to so much in this community. I am 23, and have a daughter who's almost 3. I was raped by my boyfriend of three years at the time and abused. It's been hard, but I know that I have to stay strong for my daughter. I am terrified every time I have to send her with her father, because of what happened, but the court system is pretty screwed up nowadays. All I can say, though, is keep praying, and know that things will get better in time. Just remember that God is, and always will, be with you! :)
