In case anybody out there is wondering, I'm here to tell you there is nothing EASY about healing from the effects of childhood sexual abuse.
I'm still working on it. Still going faithfully to a counselor every other week. My husband goes with me. I've healed on some levels but still have a ways to go on others. I am relearning touch and I am beginning to learn that touch is a 'good' thing. Sometimes now, I actually find myself 'wanting' to be touched which is not something I ever had any desire for before. My husband is being wonderfully patient! We are beginning to 'date' every week. We are putting some 'romance' back in our relationship. We seem to be rediscovering each other. And we are falling in love on a deeper level.
There is nothing EASY about healing from the effects of childhood sexual abuse. But it will be worth it. I have been a 'victim' since I was 10 years old. I am taking back my life. I will not die a victim. I will be the 'victor!'

I created this blog as a way to organize my thoughts and feelings. While I recognize that my feelings have room to grow in a different direction, I am not keeping this blog as a place to seek advice. I have a therapist who is helping me to grow at a pace that is comfortable for me. Encouragement is welcome. Advice is not!
