Definitely deserves posting and has made me think a lot.
This hasn't happened to me, but when I think of my close friends to some extent its happened to a lot of them. Including 2 guys, that I know of. I've emailed it off to some of them.
Tho not to the 2 friends I know for sure have suffered this the most, I'm not sure I want to shove it in their face, especially since one only has net access at work.
Reading the comments has left me shaking and feeling ill, and I only got to page 5. It is stunning, and sickening to think how much is going on to people around us we just don't know about and may never know. And because we don't know, because people can't or won't speak out, or because when they do no-one listens, it keeps going on.
