    • About Me

      I am married, since May 1975, to the same wonderful man. I am the mother of one son (1978)with one grandson (1999) and there is nothing more precious than a family that loves and remains close to you. I am a Nurse. I want to help rape survivors...when I am well enough to have something to offer. I believe life is a precious gift ordained by God, and time is limited. I hope to use what is left of my time here in a more positive way.

    • Interests

      Reading, drawing, painting, music, bowling, saltwater fishing, roughing-it-style camping, horseback riding, archery, shooting, yes I fair chase hunt...but I eat what I kill. Walking on the beach, laying on the beach, sitting on the beach, thinking about the beach, talking about the beach, writing about the beach, listening to the sound of the waves on the beach, watching the sun set on the beach, watching the sun rise on the beach, looking at the stars from the beach, complaining about high-rises on the beach.

    • Close Rape

      I was gang raped when I was 12 years old by two men and a woman. The attack was extremely violent. I am trying to get through the story in my journal. It takes too much, even after all these years, to write too much at once. My journal is locked to friends only to keep it off the web. I'll try to tell my story there.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      went for years, after having been committed to a mental health unit, without treatment, mostly in denial.After a health crisis, flashbacks began and the psychiatrist I was sent to had little experience in PTSD. Not good. Therapist now is very knowledgable and we are working on my secondary wounding and inability to nurture myself, and inability to find my anger.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

    • Open Skin Cancer
      Type: Squamous Cell Carcinoma

      Diagnosed today with squamous cell carcinoma. I am hopeful. They said the margins were clear, but I have several other areas of concern - kind of scared about it.

    • Open Sex / Pornography Addiction

      I have a sexual compulsion that began when I was a child. I was violently gang raped when I was 12. My therapist says some of what I now desribe to him is "compulsive" behavior. I admit - I hate that title. My literal diagnosis is "Sexual Compulsivity Disorder with Masochistic Tendencies". I have PTSD from the rape. I work hard to heal. I have only just admitted this is a problem for me.
