Thanks airura, all contributions welcome.

I had to get back on the horse re the healing process again in the last few days, after enjoying something of a summer break, reading another textbook about CSA in general, not liking the fact that I'm ticking some of the writer's psychological boxes but feck it, at least they're mostly in the past.

Once I finish Courage To Heal, all 500 close-set pages of it, I'll have to look at where I am, because the future can't just be about returning to work even if the money will be nice when that happens, there's just more to life and I'm still trying to sort out how I get on with finding it.

It is better now that the kids are believed when such incidents [of indecent exposure] or worse are reported - but it leaves the 99.5% majority of non-molesting adults in fear of misinterpretation when interacting with children.



An interesting quote from today's chatting. I know damn well that as a survivor I wouldn't help a child in any way at all, espcially not now I've made my report. There are too many people out there, possibly one ex-friend among them, that have copied the American view and believe I'm pre-disposed to abuse children given my history.

Of course they'd never say it to my face and give me a reason to punch their lights out.

On tonight on More4 at 10pm is the True Stories documentary Chosen, about the abuse of three boys at public school, even though their attacks pre-date mine by [EDIT] 20 years, it'll be interesting to hear the similarities.
