>I just feel worse, like my disease is infecting other people.
You know what I know, HF? That you - and all victims of abuse - do NOT have a disease, not like I think you meant, anyway. The abusers have the illness, the sickness, the badness, yes, the evil and the "disease." Their horrid actions and words have resulted in you feeling dis-ease throughout your life, true, but THEY were the virus and you the unsuspecting host who never wanted any of this kind of heart/mind/body sickness, but it was forced on you.
Remember that as much as you can - I know it's hard.
The dis-ease (not fitting in, pain, sadness, rage and more) felt in life because of THEIR abuse OF you - you are fighting that - with your therapist, with friends here, with your fantastic parenting of your own children. You are winning, IMHO. Keep on going, HF, you won't infect anyone except with your strong spirit and caring nature.
And that's all I have to say about that! ((HF))
