That is a pertinent subject for people getting out of the fam. The abuse within has certainly affected people that were within. Having either a lot of unwanted sex or having sex but not intimacy. Intimacy is something I have read about. I can engage in a conversation with a stranger and then they can find themselves telling me their life story and not knowing why. They say "I feel so close to you, I don't know why I am telling you all of this". We were so trained to access people's psyche for the cause of the family and gain. But intimacy or true connection was not really there at all. Sometimes I think the true intimacy thing is impossible. Anyone relate to any of this?
