For years of my adult life I said,

When I used to have sex with…

instead of

When I was raped by…

A sordid encounter can blunt the abused child’s horror and shame, if only for a couple hours.

–Bessel van der Kolk, MD

How smart of me to be euphemistic! (Sex is much lighter to carry than rape.) I had unconsciously fashioned myself into a magnet for risk, pain, guilt, and embarrassment. The closer my environment/chemicals mimicked the states of abuse I had experienced, the more secure I felt, the more sane. This is called coping.
