The reason I am sad tonight.

[vicky]

something shitty happened to me ten years ago and i'm wigging about having to deal with it now.

[CheshireGrin]

Hugs. I'm so sorry.

[mskitkat]

Oh honey. So many hugs.

[speckledfrog]

Big hugs. I'm sorry that happened to you and that it was handled so incredibly, infuriatingly poorly. GL with your flight tomorrow. This Dallas girl will be thinking very good thoughts for you.

[Booze Raccoon]

Holy shit. I am so sorry. That is awful. I hope this trip is cathartic rather than triggering.

[Kore]

Oh my god. So many hugs

[JayhawkGirl]

I hope being there with someone who loves and respects you helps you make some new memories of Texas. I'm sorry that happened and I'm sorry the authorities failed you.

I'm so sorry. If it is at all possible, try to think about the fact that this douchelord was not actually a Texan? And that despite George W. Bush and Rick Perry, there are lots of otherwise nice people in Texas?

Hang in there. I am so sorry that happened to you.

[meggers5]

I'm so sorry

[koopa17]

I am so sorry. I hope this trip provides you with new, happy memories.

[texassmith]

I'm so sorry. I'm sure it is incredibly difficult. Texas loves you. Focus on making some great new memories with someone you care about.

[Jalapeñomel]

I'm so sorry.

[noodleskooze]

I'm so sorry. No one should have to feel like you do right now. Ugh. I'm sorry.

[DotAndBuzz]

(((((Hugs)))))

[rosiebear]

Oh man. I'm really sorry that happened to you. How awful.

I hope, really hope, that the great reasons for your trip will be enough to give you a fresh start. A clean slate from which the awful events if the past are wiped away. And that from now on, you can view the whole place with fresh eyes. I wish the best for you.

[nahoku]

Oh, Vicky. Lots of hugs. I'm sorry that happened to you.

[renna]

You are a very good person to do this huge thing for your BF. I hope you are able to take back Texas the way you want it. You deserve the best, Vicky. ((((VICKY))))

Oh Vicky, huge, huge hugs to you. I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that.

[zoomzoom]

Omg, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Strength in returning. You'll be fine. It's not your fault and now you having a great guy to help erase that memory.

[Deleted]

All the hugs, Vic. I'm so sorry you had to deal with all that.

[hisno1girl]

Have a drink, take a Dramamine, and hold hands with your new man as your drift off to la-la land.

(hugs sweetie)

[vicky]

Thank you everyone for the love and support.
I just don't know what to do with myself. Or what to expect.
Meh.

[Deleted]

I'm so sorry. I hope that you are able to enjoy your trip and find comfort being there with someone who loves and supports you.

[Deleted]

I'm so sorry Vicky, you are strong to even attempt this trip. I hope you make new memories in Texas and can relax enough to enjoy your time there. ((Hugs))
