HERPES

Talk About Herpes | Contracted Herpes with my Second Partner

Experience…
Funny.. told by my mother ( who died when I was 9 ) , to be careful about VD and make sure you put toilet paper on public toilets before you sit down. Feeling guilty about not being there when she passed away, I kept hurting myself in ways I was unaware of, throughout my life, ie hardly eating, avoiding sex, feeling dirty even though I really wanted sex and rejecting my own body even in masturbation. At 29 years old I contracted herpes with my second partner when I decided the time was right to have a child. I fell pregnant and have raised my son alone, he`s now 13 years old and I`m so grateful for this experience and his life. Now at 44, I take this experience as a lesson in listening and learning from the people who love and care for your health (my mother), giving myself pleasure, and opening the door to allow others to love me. I realise I chose this particular way ( getting herpes, feeling dirty ) in my mind as a way of balancing my guilt with a wonderful experience. [47126]
