Heh, I understand. It's weird how people react to just speaking the truth. What is it is that people want to be so socially expectable or political correct or simply want to have people like them that they won't speak about these issues. It's like out of sight out of mind. When someone brings it out in the light in a way that really speaks to people, it's like a revelation: "We can actually talk about these things!"
So yeah, that you speak to candidly about them is something few of us are willing to do. Not only that, but about things that are so tender . . . it's hard to do. And of course, the way you speak them, not as a victim, but as a person, normal and everyday person. It blows people's minds. I wouldn't be able to speak or even acknowledge a lot of bad things that happened to me and what they meant and what they really were.
