Seeing how livejournal isn't emailing all comments, I did come back to this entry - and I did see this. I must thank you as well for sharing that. It is sad that people think it can only happen from strangers, because it doesn't. It's a scary thought. A scary feeling.

I can understand why you had never spoke up about them. Though, I do have a question, if you don't mind my asking? If you had spoke up about it to someone, friend or family, would you want them to speak up to an authority for you? I know something like that varies per person.

*hugs you* Again, thank you for sharing this.
