also, my g-f was severly sexually abused up till age 15, and has been told all her life that she was way too stupid to amount to anything (even by her high school councilor, in those words!!!). Her foster parents do not like her, she has few to no friends, and i seem to be the only person who gives a crap about her. Any recommendations for how i can help her? I really care about her and want to see her through these hard times of her life so she WILL be something besides a submissive, abused wife like her own mother was. THX for any help.
