The thought of that still makes me so angry I could spit! But mostly, I’m so very sorry that the repercussions of that abuse and the guilt of not having reported it, still cause you shame. No woman should have to carry the weight of shame and guilt for being victimized by sexual predators, and that is exactly what that doctor was. I have no magic words, just to say that I hope some day you are free of those feelings that you do not deserve to carry. Hugs.
