Hello A, I'll just call you A because your not "alone" as you put it. As a fellow victim I know exactly how you feel.
I posted a thread that Steve was going to move to this new forum called "Victims - what happens" talking about some anger I've had as a result of my abuse. Anger is a common emotion. While I've forgiven him I find years later Im angry at the life I've gotten as a result of his selfish act.
I do the mirror thing sometimes too. In the shower I just shiver thinking about what happend. I wish I could tell you it'll get better but it wont without getting help. You said you have a therapist and are seeing him/her now? Its important to do victim work. I see a victims therapist next week for my first appointment. I also have hopes it will get better.
Don't feel "alone". I know it seems like that. Being an abuse or rape victim causes someone to fold inward upon themselves. Its tough to trust someone and open up. You feel vulnerable and throw walls up to protect yourself. Walls which by thier nature also isolate yourself. Its a cycle that will go on and on until you deal with being a victim.
I have a couple book suggestions for you if you dont mind. Ive read these and they helped alot. I'll post links to Amazon.com for you to order them from. If you can order them from Steves website here (he can post directions) he can get a small commission that helps support these forums. You might find these helpful.
