Bethann, I dont know you very well.. But in NO way would I ever treat you any differently for surviving abuse. I admire the strength you have, and that alone should show people that you need friendship and not protection. *huge huggles* Stay strong sweety Love, Amanda  |

Well I try not to treat you differently. I try and show my empathy and support and I think that everyone should be careful about being complacent about such a serious subject but I try not to treat you differently.  |

to be completely honest, I most deffinatly would. Thats just me. lol, im gunna be one of those mental mothers that thinks everything is her business for the sake of protecting her child.. lol jk. but yeh, If I found out that. I wouldnt try to treat you differently, I would have more then a few words to tell you that you dont desreve that. Then I guess that fact would dig a little hole inside me, that would make me go out and make sure that you dont get upset to that degree again. LoL i dunno im like that. My friends dad lost his job, so they basically had no decent income, So I always would take her out and buy her stuff.. yea im a nut :P  |

I think that abused people should be treated the same.... with maybe a little added consideration in some respects... (like really tasteless jokes on the subject and such)  |

and btw.. I am extremely sorry too that you had to suffer in this way. Just remember that everything works out for a purpose, wither its good or bad, the outcome will be for the best. And what you loose/sacrifice, is a gift to others  |

Honey Soul - I think it's great that you're going to be a "mental mother". We need more of those in this world. My mom did jack for me. |

I think I would treat you the same as if I didnt know.. hopefully that means I would of treated you nicely before. I would like at you in a different light, admire you in same way for your strength. As I admire people I know who have lived through abuse.. Love,  |

Usually people that meet me and find out about it just say "oh" and then continue talking about themselves. |

Life has a tendency of throwing more curve balls to some more than others. No I don't think a person should be treated differently because they have been abused. I have endured all three types of abuse, mental, physcial and sexual and have traveled a very long and difficult road, but I don't regret one minute of it. The harsh times in my life has taught me so much about reality, compassion, selflessness, love, kindness and acceptence, it has made me the person I am today. I feel it has made me a stronger and wiser person who has tons of experience to look upon. You tell those folks that are treating you differently to get off it, that you are no different from them, except you are a survivor, you have seen the darkest in humanity and you can still smile. If you ever need to talk to someone I am here Take care!!!  |

No, I wouldn't. I also was abused, it is the "abuser" that I look at differently, not the abused.  |

it is the truth that one must tread carefully there are those who "see" peeps that have been abused as different or off. for instance there are peeps who would not want to marry someone who has been sexually abused. peeps that avoid the physically abused for a variety of reasons. it is really sad i was abused and part of my family thinks i am a liar and a sl** (i didn't know if it is allowed) it really made me feel bad. i personally don't see abuse survivors differently, i am one and i am tired of being ashamed.  |
