You should have been protected and cared for.<br /><br />Lots of people see their inner addict as some sort of monster but I see mine as a protectress without scruples. A strong woman that will do absolutely anything to save me from pain. <br /><br />Sadly, in the course of saving me from pain, there comes a time when the protection becomes a prison, or the medicine becomes poison. Whatever the metaphor, addiction starts as a friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123027.post-74808111588634216602009-06-16T09:56:38.695-04:002009-06-16T09:56:38.695-04:00rae i'm sorry you had to go through such a ter...rae i'm sorry you had to go through such a terrible ordeal, i am a newly revealed sex addict (2 months in therapy) that's trying to stay on the road of recovery and your blog gives me great insight and strength.<br /><br />at least you identified the situation from your past that contributed to your addiction, i am still trying to piece together mine, where did it all go wrong so to speak. <br /><br />i really admire you for your openess and honesty about how you feel and what you are doing to deal with your addiction and look forward to reading more.<br /><br />if you ever need to chat email me at bpdguy@gmail.comBPD Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321909175746162231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123027.post-18232694884818626962009-06-15T12:27:55.128-04:002009-06-15T12:27:55.128-04:00Rae,

The child that you were did not deserve for that to happen. <br />It's nice when we can answer our own questions, rather than spin out in the did they or didn't they's of life.<br /><br />Good luck this weekend.Bernadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551640226103805937noreply@blogger.com
