I have been having a really crappy day (except for the 2 hours I had coffee and chat with Talesin ) and figured, heck, my day can't get worse. I mean this day was awful! Anyway, I decided to call my mom and dad to talk about me pressing charges and get info on the abuser.
I can't believe how understanding and co-operative they were. I was really shocked.
My mom did say, "I bet you don't think we handled it correctly." to which I responded that I'm sure she handled it they way they were instructed to handle it, and how the elders that were brought in weren't trained in the matter and therefore didn't know how to properly discuss the issue with a 12 yr. old.
I was shaking the whole time, but was relieved when she said I should have done it a long time ago since it has been bugging me.
