I have not felt that dealing with the sex offenders has affected me that much. My T thinks I might have some delayed effect from dealing with them, but honestly I have more trouble with murder cases and cases where the person almost murdered the victim. I think that my living in fear for my life for several years and almost being killed on more than one occasion has me more likely to feel traumatized by persons who murder or almost murder family members. I don't know if that makes sense, but it is just more of a life and death issue. Maybe I say this because I have not allowed myself to feel much about the sexual abuse, only the physical abuse thus far and the mental abuse. These are bad enough, but mayhbe somewhere in the recesses of my mind I figure I can get through these with less pain. Hah! Not so far.
