We have all had challenges in our life that needed to be faced up to and resolved, one way or another. What has been your greatest challenge?

Now that I think about it, mine has...
been to think about what I say, before I say it. There used to be a direct path from my thoughts to my spoken word, without any appreciation of the consequences. I try hard not to do that anymore.

I don't want to sound conceited, but my biggest challenge has been myself. I'm my own worst enemy and it's really an effort sometimes to control my temper, force myself to get things done that I know have to be done, and shut my mouth when it needs to be shut.

Over coming my childhood,being able to explore my sexuality and enjoying sex.
From the age of 7 until I was almost 13 I was repeatedly raped, don't you love the way they give it the title of "Molestation" when it happens to a child. I think that is a cop-out for adults to be able to deal with it but it is still rape none the less.
After years of therapy I have been able to deal with it and move on to explore my sexuality and have fun with it.

Know what you mean...
I wonder how many participants of this site would have stories to tell about sexual, and/or physical abuse from their past. Without going into the details, the sexual abuse I experienced at the hands of a neighbor who was no doubt a pedophile, has created turmoil affecting every area of my life. Healing from those horrific experiences has been my greatest challenge and continues to this day. I've no doubt that the compulsive sexual activity that has consumed much time during my life, stems from that early abuse. Being here is part of my healing.

I'm still working on trying to find myself after a childhood rape, a teenage rape, a step-father that tried to coerce himself into my bed and sexual harassment at a previous job. After years of stuffing down all those feelings using food, I'm trying to heal myself which is hard. MAJOR Challenge...

Overcomin depression over things that happened in my childhood. And knowing that I am worthy to be loved and accepted as a good person. Knowing that I am the only one who can change the awful feelings I had and knowing that by in doing so letting go of the past. And trying to make sure that I do not do the same things to my kids. Always remebering that they are special in their own ways. Remebering to always tell them how important they are.
And in doing so try to become a more open person both sexually, and emotionally. Letting myself be open to more people about the real me.

My biggest challenge...
...is being me.
I don't know who I am, anymore. Or rather, I'm still trying to find the old Feather inside the muddled, confused mass that is my mind. But she's there, waiting for the right time to come back... waiting until I can handle what I've been dealt now.
Being alone is tough. I jump at every stupid noise, even when I know what it is, and where it comes from. I can't blame myself for it, and I don't blame anyone else but the guy who attacked me.
But being with people is even tougher. I'm nervous at stores, wondering if I'll turn down an aisle and "he" will be standing there, watching me. I don't even know what he looks like... Hell, he could live down my street for all I know.
I try not to think about it much.
I have you guys, who have already proven that you care by your wonderful posts to MB's original thread. And I have MB, himself, so don't worry about me. The greatest tree must bend to the wind. I guess it's my turn to bend.
I shall overcome.

My greatest challenge is the same as many people's here. Surviving 6 years of sexual abuse. One of the worst parts of all those years was knowing that my mother AND my father both knew it was happening and did NOTHING to stop it. It didn't stop until I was 15 and told the school nurse.
As a result of all of those years of abuse it took a toll on my marriage. I'm just learning that it is really ok to be sexual. I'm grateful to have a husband that has taken all my shit. He's been with me since I first left the abusive home that I lived in. He's been with me 13 years through thick and thin. He's the man to me. I'm lucky and I know it. Enough said.

This is an interestion one..
I feel that my whole life I've had to overcome one thing or another. The repeated abuse of me and my sibling at the hand of our own father. The guts to get out of a horrible marriage before I ended up weak and weathered like my mother had. Then rebuilding me and my life as a single mom. But through all this life has given me my most prized posession a beautiful and healthy son who was worth it all.

This is going to be the most honest answer I have ever given on here.......
I have overcome many challenges in my life...Sexual abuse, Mental and physical abuse from my mother, pregnancy at 16 and again at 19, a very bad marriage to a very bad man,Divorce and finally rebuilding my life to what it is today......but my biggest struggle has been with ....God.
I have never really had,nor have I wanted much of a relationship with him. I have always been a good person and have raised my children to be respecful, well mannered, open-minded,caring humans. That is where my problem lies...My husband and I took the children to see the "POWER TEAM" a christian program that uses strenght feats as their catch...at the end of the program they had an alter call.....without prior discusion my husband and I both felt compelled to walk with our children to that alter. I have been to many churches and have never felt anything but scepticism. So now I ,who has never believed in the power of any religion, have decided to walk the narrow path and cast off my pride... but...and this is the hard part.....I think I'm right.....I do not carry judgements on people.....I think all people should be accepted regardless of who they love or what color they are or any of the typical prejudices the world sees fit to put on us.
I do not believe hatred in any form.....including thinking I am superior to anyone labeled "non-christian" is acceptable.I believe abortion is a choice to be left up to two people...the ones who made the "mistake". I believe a lot of things that are not commonly accepted in the "Church" So I think God and I are going to have many a battle in the days to come.

You take my breath away!
What a great group of courageous people tackling some of the most painful experiences imaginable. There's an organization I'll mention simply because I love their name. Victims of Incest Can Emerge Survivors, VOICES. It is by allowing our voices to be heard, whether we're healing from incest or some other form of abuse, that will ultimately make the difference. I'm hearing those voices loud and clear and couldn't be more honored to be part of the conversation!
