Oh no! I hope everything else is alright!

Hey there.. I feel like I could use some more of your advice, but only if you’re willing to give it.

Amanda there are several books out there one in particular I’m reading is called Evidence for Christianity by Josh McDowell you may want to look at Christian Apologists such as CS Lewis, Ravi Zacharius, Norman Geisler and Lee Strobel. But most importantly you need to seek Him through His word and then you will know the truth. The Bible my favorite book of all and is a great read.

I left you several amazon.com links to books that I think are good resources for your search. If I thought you were a fundamentalist I wouldn’t have recommended them, as they have the potential to undermine the faith of anyone who bases their beliefs on a literal interpretation of the Bible.

Peace.

Hey, thanks for your help the other day(s). Since talking with you and some friends, I think that things have really gotten better for me personally, and it just feels like more is “looking up”.

Thanks soooooooo much!

I almost forgot…thanks for clearing that up for me, and to answer that “stand in” question:

No.

Later Am.

I have never been to a Texas beach…
What? they nasty?

“I wish you well on your journey” is all I could come up with to answer your reply. I really hope you do make it in counseling and write the book.
Take care Amanda.
Retire at 40, do it, enjoy life.

HELLo AmandaLynn
Nice to meet a friend from Texas.

I posted what happened to me, I thought I would tell you since you asked about it the most.

You have GOT to become a psychologist. You’d be perfect.

“My dream is to become a professional counselor and write a book…”

lol yea. And you better not change when you go signin ‘em at Borders when you do your tour.

Now back to your reply…
Spiritual questions?…ah yes…classics. I have my own too, maybe we can have a discussion about ‘em one beautiful day.

“And what do you mean what happened to the girl that was on my previous avatar?”

Amanda, this is the third pic you post and to me they all look different if you put them side by side. Maye its me, idk lol
The pic I initially referred to was the one of the girl sitting inside a car but looking at something outside..Its the one before the out to “Town” one.

“kinda an odd question.”

“You think i have a stand in? lol “

Am,
I hope you still feel emotionally great. Your kids OK?

You have cool goals, counseling is interesting.

Take care and thanks for replying.

Well mam’, first let me thank you for replying.

1. How do you feel?

2. What happened to the girl that was on your previous avatar?

Hey! It’s going pretty well! how are things??

Hello.

I was anonymous in the “girl troubles” topic. Thanks so much for your help. I actually bookmarked the page, because your advice was so fantastic.

Seriously, thanks a million. :D

Hey… i read ur reply on a post by this woman who’s moved to a new city etc. Her situation is not a classic problem, but i found ur reply really helpful, something that one shd remember regardless of situation. I just wanted to drop in my appreciation of the thought..! Thank u.. :)

Yaaaa

I’m sweet…..

But u r too cute and lovely

What’s up?

However

Nice to meet u…

OOps I’m not from that show
I’m the real one……

;)

HELLo from the HELL

lol, it isn’t like there’s anything wrong with it, but I’ve never read them completely..

Amanda. Im your fan. I dont care if you are my friend or not.
When is the book comming out?

Damn…your replies are always toooo long…lol

I’m sorry to read of your past dear. Despite the classical definition… what you describe sounds like abuse to me. Forced to do anything is abuse. Date rape is still RAPE. So, you current situation is completely understandable. I know times are tough everywhere, but if possible I think you should talk to a sex therapist. Do NOT see a Freudian therapist (they’ll just make things worse).

You have the sexual experience and curiosity, and now that you are out of any pressure situation you want to explore healthy options, but you still have some deep seeded reservations and resentments that keep you from expressing yourself in a way you want. Does your husband know you were sexually abused? Maybe it’s time he did. Trust me AnandaLynn, if it deviates from “Missionary position”, it does NOT mean it’s deviant sex. Do like I said… start slow and work up to it. Again, he wants you to feel the best you can feel. I know you want to burst forward and just do it, but don’t. Give YOURSELF the time to touch those deeper parts of you and feel those before jumping to something else. Try Tantric sex.

Hi AmandaLynn - sorry I was late to your post it looks like you got some very good advice… I agree totally with Chev. I was curious if you were once a victim of abuse or molestation? Many victims of this have an advance knowledge of sexuality, but continue to have blocks in bring a healthy sexual life to reality.

Start slow, you want about 30 minutes of foreplay, more if possible. During this time of light touching, kissing, you want to talk about what you want to experience with him. (everyone is right, it is his desire to please you). Then when the time comes if he needs guidance, don’t hesitate to do so. Again what Chev said is true… don’t assume you telling him will be enough. Show him.
