		<description>Oh but apparently I &quot;shouldn&#039;t be worried about it&quot; nor even &quot;thinking about it&quot; because it&#039;s &quot;not important&quot;. 

&quot;Is it on your mind like?&quot; says my mother.

I could just scream!

Well not fucking shit sherlock!!! Goddamn it!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Control....the biggest factor in all of this....
Not only were you hurt, but you don&#039;t get to chose how you deal with that hurt. 
I am so sorry about your family, and I am so glad that you DO have Bear to walk you through all of this.</description>

		<description>I hope so too, Zoe, I really do. 

I&#039;m beginning to wish I had never made my statement now.

My biggest fear....honestly, I just want to feel safe, I haven&#039;t felt safe for a long, long time &amp; I feel safest when I&#039;m with Bear, across the ocean. I am afraid that things might really kick off quite badly.. especially because I&#039;m not a part of his family &amp; therefor, I&#039;ve always believed that they would think I was lying &amp; would close ranks. 

I don&#039;t feel I get the support from my family here. I wish I did &amp; I know they try... but it just isn&#039;t the same as having Bear physically by my side, keeping me from harm, steadying me when I stumble &amp; picking me up when I fall.

The biggest issue is the fact that I didn&#039;t choose to tell anyone about the abuse. My step-father was snooping &amp; read it in my journal. I&#039;ve tried again &amp; again to explain to him, my mother &amp; others that I didn&#039;t tell anyone, because I wasn&#039;t ready. I&#039;m still not ready &amp; I don&#039;t know if I ever will be.

They tell me I&#039;m in control, but I&#039;m &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; not you know?

Thanks for your comment Zoe :)</description>

		<description>I literally laughed out loud when I read the bit in your post about &quot;drawing a map&quot;!!

I hope the police respect your wishes. What is your biggest fear about starting this while you are over there? Is it about him, and what he might say or do while you are there? Just curious...as you know I never confronted my abuser, so I really don&#039;t have any idea what you are going through. I guess for me, my biggest fear would be that if I was not there, the police would some how screw things up...but I am guessing we are beyond that eh? Hang in there. Keep us updated. (as if I have to ask!)
