DHs out there... how did you react when your wife told you she was molested/raped/sexually abused?

I don't think you should be so quick to dismiss my feelings. I'm where your children could be in 30 years. My mother also believed she didn't need any therapy and that like all of you she had it under control. As she got older she started to realize this was not true. I'm trying to give you the perspective of a what it was like for a child. I'm sorry you can't appreciate this. Personally I find your need to belittle me as a sign that you are not as cool with the subject as you think.

I'm not dismissing your feelings at all nor am I belittling you. I disagreed with you in your certainty that we all need therapy. Now you're being rude, and there's no reason to continue to engage with you. I hope you get the healing you seek. My sincere wishes for good luck to you.

NP here. Therapy only does so much. It is certainly not a cure-all.
