I thought Rick answered it perfectly in another post. Why NOT talk about it? It is a painful life experience a number of women have experienced. Why should they keep quiet about it? Why continue to protect the perpetrator by remaining silent? Being able to talk about a painful experience, especially after having kept it secret for many years, is a very common way to begin the healing process. Ever hear of the term, "Get something off my chest"? There are a few lines I often repeat to myself when I think of the dear friends I have "unloaded" on over the years: "Joys when extended will always increase, And griefs when divided are hushed into peace." Talking about painful experiences is an incredibly great way to heal them. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
