Someone who is used to having all of the anger and pain directed at him/her when it can't be directed at the abuser.

    Depending on how much hurt and anger at the past is still inside her, it could months or years before she is ready for a healthy sex life. Are you ready to face that future? That is what we mean by taking care of her needs. She may not be able to emotionally or physically handle yours for quite awhile.
    I wish she went to a pro... Im really worried about her... I told her that I'm going to wait and that its not a big deal... But that she should also fix the problem...

    Thanks for the help all!
