To the girl (I assume, based on the picture) who “makes it seem like” her dad abused her: the common concensus is that anyone who would touch a child, particularly one they are meant to care for and protect, is scum. Why on earth would you do that to your dad? Even if you had a reason, it’s inexcusable. Stop.
Don’t judge. You don’t understand her. You don’t know what she’s going through. And dontbe rudeans question why shedoes it she already said she didn’t know why she did.
to the one who didn’t cry when their parents died. i won’t cry when my mom dies. she says she loves me as she walks away, shes hurt me to the point i don’t care what happens to her, i’ll almost be happy when she does die. it seems like that should make me feel bad but i don’t
To the one who makes it seem like her father abused her, I know what your doing, I’m sending a postsecret in on Monday…. i dont know why either.
I never can force myself to get off of this site so I stay up late into the night reading secrets ~!~
The secret about herpes… I know how you feel. I got it from a really shitty boyfriend who ended up telling my whole family. My mom admitted to me months later, with tears in her eyes, that she had it too. She could never tell me because she was so ashamed herself. But if she only knew how much better telling would have made me feel. Sick thing is, she thinks she got it from my dad. We’re a family full of herpes!
That really annoys me, too! It’s especially disgusting when it’s someone on a bike, most especially if they’re not wearing a helmet. Look, if you know you have nothing worth protecting, get off the sidewalk! Sidewalks are there so pedestrians don’t get run over by cars. The laws in my state make cyclists/bike-drivers as culpable as motorists in accidents, so quit trying to run me off the sidewalk!
He sings to me in my sleep, my secret love (?)
I too have herpes and it isn’t my fault. I got them from someone I loved and trusted. But I have only told one other person because I am so embarrassed and ashamed.
I to have herpes and I hate the person who gave it to me. every day I have to tell myself that it’s not my fault.
Cancer is also considered a lifestyle disease. Most of the big killers are, in one way or another, lifestyle diseases – whether or not you are the one who chooses your circumstances. A lot of the ones that are not killers, or are not direct killers, are lifestyle diseases, too. If I could give any medical gift to the world, it would likely be a cure for herpes because herpes is so very permanent, and it gets in the way so much. I know it’s not a monster the way cancer or AIDS are, but the stigma surrounding herpes is so extremely devastating to those who have it. People treat AIDS patients a lot better than those afflicted with herpes these days. It’s very wrong, to make assumptions about a person, to judge them by their disease. Nobody went out one night and said, Hey – wouldn’t it be interesting to feel what herpes is like? NOBODY is a bug-chaser for herpes.
