Hi Thinker's wife,
Yes, My own experience at the hands of the JW elders and then years of therapy ended up in my studying and practicing as Psychologist part time....the rest of the time I sing opera....which is funny because trauma drew me to music and I found it a fantastic outlet for pain.
A rather large shock to find oneself on an opera stage!!!!
Now I teach as well as the psychology. My husband being a psychiatrist was extremely supportive in all I did....I would go so far as to say he saved my life.
As for me taking the matter further in a legal sense....I would do anything to be able to do this, but one thing stops me......the child that came from that rape is a young impressionable girl that I love dearly.
It would serve only my own selfish interests to persue such a matter.....maybe when she is older and has a say in wanting her parentage disclosed. She knows how she came into this world, but it is a very painful subject for her.
Thinkers wife....I am so sorry that the samr thing happened to you....but words are cheap sometimes, aren't they?
Take Care,
Ana
