Thanks, Pam. I really don't want to give her any more books to read. I think she has enough on her hands trying to avoid reading the relevant parts of SSM. I know she has to face her fears, but me giving her a book about sexual abuse in childhood is not going to help her or help out situation. I have asked her before if she thinks she was sexually abused in her childhood and the answer is no. I believe her. Any "abuse" she suffered was more in the nature of a father who probably paid more attention to his new wife than to his daughter, and his verbal/emotional abuse (a la "how could you be so stupid?")
