I'm sorry. That's awful, and not at all ok in any way for any excuse. I've had similar experiences from acquaintances and strangers. Even an older guy at church who likes to get in my space, is touchy feely, and has told me my legs are sexy. Nothing makes it ok. You don't deserve to be treated that way. You're not an object. Some people just have garbage sense of responsibility and respect for obvious/natural boundaries. I'm so sorry this happened.

Thank you, Yaku. I gotta take this down, it's triggering stuff worse having it out there to observe as well

Cat - whatever happened sounds triggering and really hard. I'm sorry for your pain

(((Cat)))

I'm so sorry for your pain. I did read it this morning. You did nothing wrong. The truth is that HE did, not you. The truth is you are not an object. The truth is you are special and precious. Don't listen to the lies in your head Cat. However, you are of course completely allowed and entitled to feel from it. I hope your doing okay. I'm sending big hugs.

I stayed home today because of nearly debilitating panic knocking me out. T had time in her schedule today.

I wish I could deal with this stuff better.
