"Many time when something is broken it can never be restored completely and my read of what you say says to me that you may very likely still messed up." Absolutely! But at least now I know that other people knowing my "secrets" is not the most tragic thing that could happen to me. "It does amaze me that any adult would be dumb enough to belong to a religion the teaches that a baby or child suckling a mother breast would be sinful and condemned to hell." The church did not teach this, although their basic teaching was that any activity not related to celebration of the Lord God from which one derives pleasure was a sin. Playing cards was a sin. Dancing was a sin, unless it was in celebration of The Lord. Singing was a sin, unless it was in celebration of The Lord, etc. But, when I was an infant, nobody bothered to explain the realities of concepts such as incest to me. As a result, in order to avoid going to Hell, I was left on my own to figure out exactly what it was that I needed to avoid. Thus I made associative links in my own mind that lead me to the conclusion that I was involved in an incestuous relationship with my mother. And, since I was not yet able to talk, could not have ask the questions that would have resolved my confusion, even if I had not been so paranoid of my own presumed transgressions that I would have had the nerve to ask the questions that needed to be asked.
