Sexual Abuse at Penn State
I am so angry because the cover up there reminds me of the way sexual abuse is kept secret in families. Some people know what’s going on but they keep silent in order to protect the reputation of the family. At Penn State they wanted to protect that football program because of all the money it brought in and they felt loyalty to one another. I also wonder about the state of Pennsylvania. Did certain people stay silent in order to keep collecting tax revenue? Well now the secrets are having light shined on them and the roaches are running and hiding.

Trigger. *trigger*
Triggers have always been a mystery to me. Most of the time I can’t figure out what is going on with my mind, but this time I did. I watched a Margaret Rutherford/ Miss Marple movie from the early 1960′s. Some characters were fake stabbing one another at a theatre rehearsal. Now, I should have known better, but I thought I could handle it. I couldn’t and I am having a very very difficult day re-living horrors from the past.

Contamination
I have been thinking about what is appropriate to reveal of my inner self on this blog. I hope that what I write is helpful to someone out there, but on the other hand I feel that I am selfishly unburdening myself by writing about my struggles.
Since last night I have been struggling with an idea planted in my brain by my birth parents and their cronies that I am bad luck for other people and that I should always stay away from them. What is really scary to me is that I truly believe those lies in the younger parts of my consciousness.
So today I am staying in the house and I feel like I have lost my mind. I know that what I am feeling is not true, and yet I still believe it. I am very tired of this

Pain From the Past in the Present
It has only been in the last three years that I understood that the fear and self hate that I felt some days, like today, was what I felt when I was being abused and did not have the opportunity to feel while I was trying to survive. Now when I feel it, I am trying to sit with it and not try to run away from it. It is so hard to admit how I was used, and that I had no one to help me but myself. In the present I have been calling myself the names the abusers called me which are all profanity and I don’t want to repeat. Keep in mind they were speaking to a three year old. I was totally brainwashed and believed every terrible lie they told me about myself. At least now I can talk to myself and understand why I am thinking and feeling so depressed and sad. It took a lot of hard work for me to get to this point. It has felt like I was climbing Mt. Everest on my knees with no equipment.

No Control is Scary
It is very difficult for the kid part of myself to understand that my dad did not love me, and I did nothing to make it happen. As a kid it made more sense to me that it was my fault. It hurts less when I can blame myself and if feels safer. I feel like I would have had some sort of control over the situation.It is very difficult for the kid part of myself to understand that my dad did not love me, and I did nothing to make it happen.

ROMAN POLANSKI SUPPORTERS
Director Roman Polanski has admitted to drugging and sodomizing a thirteen-year old girl thirty years ago. He fled the country in order to avoid punishment.

Keep in mind when you watch these actors’ or directors’ movies, read these authors’ books, or wear these designers’ clothes, you are supporting a person who supports a child rapist. His victim is now in her early forties, and has been paid a financial settlement. What he chose to do to her is fact. What you choose to do is up to you.
