Ymirism

My SO's brother and sister were both abused by an ex of my mother in law. My SO herself has no memory of abuse, but did have issues with physical contact in general, and sex even more so. She still gets scared when touched by strangers and is very strongly opposed to any man touching her unasked. (i.e. Will instinctively hit them).

Did you ever blame yourself for it happening? Was it difficult to not kill or hurt him, rather than having him arrested? Are you and your daughter coping at all (non_English poster, not sure if coping is best term)? How did you find out?

Aside from the questions, I wish you both all the strength in the world. I can't even begin to fathom what you've been through, but my heart goes out to you.

Hey man, I don't have a question for you. What I do have, is knowledge of how you feel. I have it too, also a genetic thing. Most of the males in the family have it to some extent, but I was blessed with the grand prize. My cousins are skinny as all fuck and have slight boobage, I was at one point quite fat and had actual boobs. In swimming pools as a kid, people came up to me to inform me that I had bigger tits than their girlfriend. I'm 6"7' and even when I weighed less than 150 pounds (I think? 68 kilo's) I still had boobs. They'll never go away unless I have the surgery too. Worst part is, I was going to have them removed back at 17 when I went for a stomach wall correction (I lost so much weight around my 13th that I had huge folds of loose skin left) but apparently between the intake and the actual procedure, that part got left out.

Anyway, long story short I'm 27 now and still have my boobs. I've also lost a lot of weight (And gained it again, heh) and gained a ton of muscle in the meantime, but the tits are for life. That said, I've stopped caring. Sure I would prefer they were gone, it's not exactly the pinnacle of masculinity, but fuck it, it's a part of me and has been for as long as I can remember. I can live with it, and anyone who thinks less of me for them isn't worth my time anyway.

Don't take this the wrong way mind you, I'm not saying you shouldn't have done the surgery. Hell, I'm happy for you and hope that with time your self image will go back to normal. If anyone gets why you needed to do it, it's me. Just wanted to let you know there's people around who get what you went through and are happy for you, maybe share my story with you.

I hope that with this hurdle behind you you can live your life unfettered. Best wishes my friend.

Mister McGee, not a question as such but more of a shout-out I suppose. My girlfriend is a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, and was ecstatic when I introduced your games to her. She's not really much of a gamer at all, but Madness Returns she finished all the way through in no time flat. To this day, she has finished only one other game, so as you can imagine that says a lot about how much she enjoyed the game. Thank you for letting her experience the world of Alice first hand.
