my junior year in highschool about 2-3yrs after being groped in the hall way... I searched the yearbook for his face. Like my rapist I can see moments of that day like it was yesterday...So i felt that I totally new what he looked like...and I thought to myself "I pray that I never see him again" ... but after going over each face. I couldnt find him. I know that he was friends with my attacker, but I dont know his name. I know he was on the football team...and I even searched through team photo's i couldnt pick him out either.
Because of that...I question whether I trully remember what my rapist looks like. If maybe I wouldnt even know it...if he found me and talked or took what he wants again.
I bring it up now because after not being able to find his face a long while ago, I put the year books in a box in the basement. I went down there looking for something and just the site of the yearbooks got me thinking about my inability to identify them

I honestly believe that part of you would remember everything and your instincts would warn you not to go near him if you ever did run into him. I think it's a good rule in general to not be around people that make my hackles rise.

I wonder the same thing. Would I know the face if I saw it??? I don't know....it's strange, isn't it???

I 'see' my rapist most nights in my nighhtmares, but only his eyes are distinctive, and i can hear him laughing, i know what my rapist looks like, and only saw him again a few weeks ago (bastard) but in any nightmares i can only see his eyes, it is strange because i can see his whole face now, just thinking about him. It could be your minds way of dealing with it, by shutting that part of your memory down?!!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
