Hi drgncro, welcome to AS. I think many of us having been following the Ford case. My husband and I were talking about the same thing you brought up. It's maddening when people don't understand what we need to do survive a tramua. It's hard for people to talk about it in 2018 , things were so much worse in 82. You have found a safe place here.

Hi TeaLove, I understand how you feel , I was a mom of young daughters and I worried what happened to me would happen to them. I taught them to respect their bodies. One of the things I did teach them was they didn't have to hug people even me or my husband. They had the right to say no. It also taught them when they started dating that they have the right to say no. Both my girls are grown women now,, one is a hugger one isn't but it all comes down to their choice. Patricia
