Sweetheart, your friend did what she needed to do for herself. You get to do what you need to do for yourself. It may not be the same thing, and she may be just the slightest bit narcissistic if she can't comprehend that.
I admire you because you're strong enough and determined enough to face up to all this and work through it. Do you know that I just told my T some of the details of what was done to me -- and that it was the very first time in more than thirty years that I ever told anyone that much? That's right -- I've been able to say, "Yes, I was sexually abused as a child," but I've never once told any of the details to anyone. I'm truly in awe of you because you can say it, because you've been saying it -- you inspire me.
I hope you'll keep writing about this stuff for exactly as long as it's helpful for you. And that you'll find a way to keep your friendship with this woman, despite her skewed perspective on this one area.
