I saw Jane Fonda on Oprah while home on holiday break. She talked about putting your Life in Review, a 3-act play. Act 1 is years 0-30, II years 31-59, III 60+. It got me to thinking about my life, I took a long walk today and thought about different things. I recalled on the Oprah interview Fonda claimed 1 in 3 women are sexually abused as children. Suddenly I remembered an assault on myself at about age 10, in a public restroom with my parents waiting outside. I am the 1 in the 3.
I can honestly say that I don't think my body abuse or drug use when I was in my 20's is any left over guilt from the attack. My parents made it clear to me that I was an innocent victim, filing charges with the State Police, etc. I almost never recall it, it was the association with the interview that brought it up.
