Racer,
Ok, just for you. Really personal, really funny and really sad.
After months of working with my past abuse memories and bad dreams, in one session it finally came out that yes, I had been raped. (ouch, hate that word.) I was a complete wreck. It came out because I had a major, my first ever, flashback during sex. This was just before Valentine's Day.
At this same time, my husband's illnesses had gotten worse and they were trying all kinds of new medications. Which caused all kinds of other problems.
So I come home from this really hard therapy session and he comes home from the MD and says...are you ready? "Well, the good news is he gave me some viagra to try, you know, for Valentine's Day..."
I can laugh now.
Timing IS everything. You will be OK. Your husband still loves you (even if he becomes a republican). We are here for you. You are brave and strong. Don't be too hard on yourself. You probably needed to let some of this out.
