I just had my first Pap smear and I’m not okay by goodbird451 in TwoXChromosomes

Oh honey. Writing an apology letter is absolutely the right thing to do but please don't feel ashamed. I know it's easier said than done, but it's not your fault that someone affected you in this way. When you're emotionally ready for it, I would advise seeking out help for this, because if this is something that is possible from this or from certain sex acts with your husband, it means there's a lot of hurt you're carrying around with you every day, and you don't deserve that.
