I remember telling my husband that we should make an offer. I could smell her and I think of her often. We bought the home 6 yrs ago. Yes, she is with me daily.

So, writing/thinking about that time and how I felt was hard. I'm hoping other Incest victims will read my blog and realize "Hey, this is me". To know that the pain one feels is no different than the emotional pain another person feels is so very healing.

I’m sorry you feel like you are in a prison, trapped, with no end or solution in sight. I am 52 years old and can’t remember the exact day I began “picking” my eyelashes or hair in other areas on my body. I know that I was very young, though. I have my good days, and bad days.
