What happened to my post? Is there a restriction on how long it should be? It doesn't say anything!!!!!!!

No text length restriction. Well, technically there is, but it's well more than 100 times as long as your post.

This is what I wrote

As far as I can tell it's identical to your first post. The database where the post is stored doesn't show any more text. Please contact me privately to discuss so I can troubleshoot the problem if there is one. You can either use the site's contact form which means I'll probably see your message eventually or the site's Private Message tool which means I'll definitely see it and see it quickly.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

This is what I wrote:

Hi again, please, don't call yourself "dead mom walking", your are pretty much alive and seeking help; you have demonstrated so pretty much. Those are self-defeating thoughts that cannot help you and will make your efforts for helping your daughter much more difficult.

>>>Thanks for the link. I am going to read more about it. I have been trying to convince my daughter to see a neighbour who is a healer and uses what appears to be similar methods, that is a western adaptation of eastern medicine. She finds blockages in the "chi" or body's energy flow and taps or massages gently on those spots or applies homeopathic remedies.>She believes the perp has left a piece of himself in my daughter, as least in my daughter's mind. Because he made my daughter perform oral sex on him she has a continuing sense of being "dirty" and "defiled". For example, when she went for counselling and examination and a sexual abuse medical clinic she asked if his DNA could "still be inside her" (this 5 years after the fact). The healer goes on soul journeys or dream journeys with the clients to find this injured parts of their souls. OK, I know this sounds incredibly hokey but I don't think it is the science that is important - it is the symbolism. In the case of damage to the soul or self, ritual and symbol can be more powerful healers than any meds or even counselling.

However, so far I haven't been able to convince my daughter to go. Partly it is her natural shyness, partly she has inherited her father's analytical mind and is a doubting Thomas but mostly she can't stand being touched
