I can't believe it's been one year since sharron took advantage of me over the internet. He cyber sexually abused me and took advantage of me. Am I fully healed? No. I haven't gotten counseling for fear of being judged and made fun of. It has been a rough year but I'm pulling through.

sounds like you're ready to start processing your feelings around your abuse....counselors that specialize in abuse will understand your fears...you are not alone.

Thank you. I have been cyber sexually abused, emotionally and verbally abused

have you done any reading on "Boundaries" ?

Defining what they are and recognizing when to use them and why they are needed?

how to set them?

No. I haven't. I can't find the book. The emotional/verbal abuse is by my alcoholic mom.

Keep ttrucking, and I also advise counselors----they specialize in this stuff and they can help you put words to things when you can't, all sorts of things---

In meantime.... Hugs, hugs, and good for you making it a year:-)

If you google "What are boundaries" there are lots of free articles written on the subject, here is an example:

To learn a lot more about boundaries and how to identify unhealthy people / relationships....this author has a lot of good books on the subject:

Thank you. I am afraid of counselors. What if they blame me for what I did? Or laugh at me?
