After reading the stories that are on here the problems in my life now make sense. The constant feeling of shame that has been with me all my life for no reason . The feeling of shame and illicitness that has always been with me has been a wall between me and my husband of 41 years. I should have been able to enjoyed our sex life not felt guilty and ashamed. I was in my late thirties before I got the courage to see what my own body looked like let alone touch it. The sad thing is I didn’t understand why I was like this until I started reading some of the stories and recognized what had been done to me . The interviews that I had were conducted with good intent but the damage has been life long and caused great distress to me and my husband over the years. No other child and young person should be damaged this way in the name of god when really men have got it very wrong.
