I was abused several times by 3 differant people as a child. I am 57 now and after years of alcohol and drug abuse I am finally getting help. I always felt that I should "just get over it". Like another caller I have found it impossible to really connect with anyone in my life - I spent 35 years moving from place to place and wondering why I never "fit in". It is easy for s/o who has not experianced this abuse  to imagine you can put it behind you. In a country that believes it has high moral values it is absurd how much sexual abuse of children goes on and how unsympathetic people are about this.
