Theresa,
Thank you so much for your response. I don't know if you knew it - but I really needed someone to identify with. Someone to tell me that it is going to be ok. Thank you for being that someone. My husband and I have agreed not to talk about this with friends. My best friend actually -- and she has always been my greatest counsiler. As for seeking professional help -- we are christians and have just starting going to a local church. I don't feel comfortable enough confinding in this pastor yet. I know that his wife tends to gossip about people's personal matters and I would not like it if "everyone" knew my story. I don't want their judgement or their pity. Most women -- like I was before It happened to me -- would curse me for staying with my husband. I don't need that.
I will try your suggestion of picturing Jesus taking the bad images away. Hope it helps some. I know that I am healing and it has helped just to get to talk to someone about it. Thanks again for your encouragement. You must trully be a wonderful person. Keep in touch.
Emily
