Unfortunately I've been dealing with a lot of health issues that have slowed me up but finally getting on top of them all now. I agree with you, I did find out that in Australia there is no statute of limitations for sexual abuse at this stage so I could still bring legal proceedings against him. I'm getting counselling again and found this out a couple of weeks ago. I spoke to my therapist about the potential pitfalls of various things but it's hard to know what might help us the most isn't it - especially when we don't know what response we will get if we confront them. Thanks for stopping by and I am sorry it's taken so long to respond :) @EKW

It's such a dilemma... I have to be completely prepared for the consequences of confrontation! :( I feel as if confrontation is the only way that I'll feel better and let this person know that I think they are a coward for doing what they did, and I'm no longer afraid of them. Unfortunately I am still afraid of what they could do to others... The statue of limitations has run out so I know nothing can be done legally, but I still want that satisfaction of facing who was once my worst fear, unafraid... I feel the exact same way.
