[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you had been mugged in college, would you hesitate to share that experience with your child?

No, because you would have no reason to be ashamed about that, and your child would have no reason to look at you differently knowing that fact about you.

I can see Dad not wanting to share that he raped a woman in college, but I see no reason for Mom not to talk about her experience being raped.

My case was more of a "I didn't try hard enough to stop it" date rape. But I still consider it rape, in the sense that I felt completely violated and abused. I would absolutely share that with a son or daughter when I felt they were mature enough to relate to the situation -- and certainly before they left for college, because it happened during the first semester of my freshman year, when I felt overwhelmed by my new freedom and at the same time unsure how to manage sexual relationships.

I lived in a very poor neighborhood and was attacked a few times, I was also threatened when I delivered pizzas in college.

I have never thought compelled to tell my kids ... Why would I? So they don't assault people? That does not make sense.[/quote]
