I think you should absolutely be proud. I have fantasized many many times about doing exactly what you did to my rapist. "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" goes out the window when someone just helps themselves to so much of you in such a brutal way. I'm so relieved you escaped with your life and that the police believed you.

I'm well and truly hooked! I love Martina, she definitely sounds like a good person to have by your side while you learn all of the ...special... things that need to be done to take care of the motel! pls pls pls keep us updated, I hope your first experience with the taxes didn't scare you off!

Valerie is awesome, definitely stick close to her. pls let us know how your first day went and what you were able to find out about the woman with the nails!

I know exactly what you meant when describing the way Dale looked at you. it's such a gross and shameful feeling, especially as a child. I'm so glad you found Miss Sarah and that she protected you from that disgusting predator, and that you guys formed such a strong bond that continues today. I wish every child had a Miss Sarah that would prevent innocence being taken in the worst way.
