| Comments - When I was seven I never imagined the pain that might come. Then when I grew older I never imagined the pain that was present. Now that I am older I understand about the pain both from my younger and older ages. I realiza that what was done was wrong. I realiza the actions taken were inappropriate. I understand that this attitude and behavior was not my fault. I understand I had no control over what was happening. I even know there wasn't anything I could have done that would make a difference. Yet, sometimes I wonder if things had been different would I have had to go through the pain, shame and guilt. Would I have had to pretend and act normal. Would I even have to go around hiding or could I have just been a normal child. I don't think that even if the situation would have been different this would matter, because the fact is it happened. It happened to me and I can't do anything about it except grow, heal, and know I will survive. |
