Don't be too sure of that. I felt misunderstood until about five years ago when I realized there were thousands, literally tens of thousands, of kids now adults that shared my experience. You know what, I also found out that some people very close to me, that came to be my friends miles and miles from where I had been abused as a kid, were straight graduates that were keeping it a big secret.
The problem, as I see it, is shame. We all carried it for so long, we buried it, we disvowed the Seed, we refused to think about it or talk about it, we hid it from our spouses and children, but it never really went away it just became a negative part of us, a hurtfull portion of our wounded egos.
That shame belongs back in our childhood, and on the backs of the perpetrators of this scam.
And back to your original comment, there are many many people who read this message board that understand.
Where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.

What branch of straight were you in and when?
(I was in VA from '82 - '85.)
GregFL:
Froderick, reread his/her post. The person was in The Seed St Pete during the same time frame I was there, way back in the early 70s........

What experiences and history teach is this-that people and government never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.

reread his post Greg - he also said he was in Straight (I imagine it was St. Pete)
GregFL:
Oops! Sorry I stand corrected.
Was it St Pete Straight, Anon, and would you PLEASE give us a post comparing/contrasting the two camps??????
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
