Creepy and disgusting. I think all pedophiles should be exiled to Antarctica except for the fact that I'm sure that they would ruin the pristine beauty of the place.I feel so sorry for the shy little girl that you were. I was so happy when it dawned on me that my daughter was 5'10" and no longer likely to attract perverts of that nature. I've heard so many horror stories from my female friends that I actually consider myself lucky to never have been molested or raped. The closest thing that ever happened to me was that I was solicited for prostitution by older men a couple times when I was a teenager which was kind of creepy but not in a totally sicko way since I looked like a grown woman.

Thanks Jenny...my inner little girl feels a lot better since posting this yuck stuff. Both my kids have a naive sweetness to them and I just hope they make it through without bad experiences. In a way, the impact of that creepy one time confusing experience with a stranger pales in comparison to my ongoing marital trauma. It is difficult being hurt, rejected, dismissed, etc from the one person who is your life partner and supposed biggest supporter. My H definitely has his share of hurts from me as well...it's not a one sided thing. But I sense I am becoming a better person and want good things for us, and he is trying as well. Lately we've been getting along and our sex life has been fine. No jabs as of late. We shall see.
