I was sexually abused in childhood and a 17 year abusive marriage. I find being touched very difficult now unless I know or trust the person. If I have sex with anyone now, no matter how kind or gentle they are I feel used, upset and cry as my mind triggers me straight back to the original marital abuse. I am scared of letting any man emotionally or physically close to me now in the long term. I feel really angry and frustrated its taking me so long to recover as I also feel lonely and deprived of the love I deserve and have to give to someone. Whats the answer, I wish I knew??

I've tried meds no luck.
I've tried therapy, it was to heavy for my therapist.
I am seeking spirituality, faith.
I think that a human can never really understand. unless, they went through the same things.
So it lies within ourselves to find the freedom.
To forgive.

I guess my suggestion to you would be to decide what you want in a man, write it down even and post it somewhere that you will see it often. Then, as you are "looking" for that certain someone, you will remember what it is you are "looking" for. When you find one that is at least close to the description, give it a whirl. Nothing to deep, maybe lunch or coffee. Then, get to know him. Really know him before you go further. And, don't be ashamed to tell him about your abuse and the reprocussions you deal with. If he meets your criteria, he will understand and support you. (Make sure that's on your list..:)
Hope this helps some.
