Overcoming childhood sexual abuse is the most fucking frustrating thing I have experienced in my life. It is like there is this endless list of problems that keeps getting longer the longer I work on it. I am in 2 years, and am starting to wonder how much longer it will be until this is over.

Also, I was working with someone on a presentation for class earlier, and we were talking about suicides due to someone being gay (our presentation is about the LGBTQ community). It led me to look up suicides due to childhood sexual abuse. Found this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/07...5689.html. THE DARKNESS MAN THE DARKNESS. I definitely can relate.

Here's an article about him: http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2011/01/07/27306/.

Just venting.

CaptainPower's thread about people not changing reminded me of this one.

People can change.

Also, if you are reading this CaptainPower, don't be so quick to judge others. You can't always see it, but some people carry personal burdens with them everyday.
