What exactly?

I was abused when I was 13-15 by a boyfriend who was the same age as me. I just wanted to know everyone's opinion: Was this molestation (because I was young-ish), or just relationship abuse?

I've always wondered....

Can you define your abuse? Thanks

I believe that molestation is molestation, regardless of who does it. Just as rape is rape...even if a husband rapes his wife...it's still rape. I don't think that 'relationship-abuse' is valid at all...it basically just always seems to me like a cop-out for the abuser...a way to 'lesson' what they did just because they did it to their partner.

He basically forced me to do sexual things that I didn't want, and would never want to do because they're so disturbing. The only thing he never made me do was have sex because that's the only thing he though was bad (because then it would seem like rape).

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
