sweetie

it's tough...
made my stomach churn when u told me it happened to u too
no matter how young you are, the scar doesnt go away
but like i said in my previous post...forgive and put it behind you

studies have shown that most of these atrocities are committed by
close relatives or people known to the victim

i pray these guys leave their own daughters alone!

maybe one day i will...when my children are older perhaps,
start an awareness programme for children in primary schools

i remember being in a daze the whole day, each time it happened
- feeling totally violated and helpless...guilty....and lost
We should help other victims


i hope one of you will take up the cause...it is a worthwhile one u know
cos its not something people talk about openly....because of the stigma
it took me more than twenty years to even talk about it
now that i am a mother - older - and comfortable in my own skin...
i can openly talk about it
i think it took a lot of courage for u to do so....

warning - not for the easily - bored and cynical

every experience - good or bad
is supposed to make us better people...
we are supposed to learn from it...evolve -
and make the world a better place

WHY - that is the purpose of living...its a wasted life
if you leave the earth as a worse person...

eg - once i watched a video clip about a girl with cerebral palsy
her mother, when interviewed, said...
"it was a shock initially
but now she is such a joy - she has taught us so much
and we are thankful for her...we are so much richer becos of her...
if i had to do it all over again, i would still want her as my little girl"

they were ENRICHED by their experience...such an enlightened response...they agreed to
the documentary because they wanted other parents to know what a joy it can be...not to despair

There are many parents who have become lobbyists/started support groups/ or awareness campaigns after a bad experience...like the father whose 7 year-old daughter died because the air bag broke her neck...


well...maybe u and i could one day meet again to start up a worthy cause...
to help little girls

cheers!
