for those of us enduring mothers day instead of celebrating it.. i am glad you have come here to read supporting, understanding words... to know you are not alone... to know this is your safe haven... we come here in solidarity to quell the pains of our abuse and the unbidden memories that often come with it... and come to realize it was not about us no matter how many times we have been told it was... for those of us who grew up and told, only to be met with shocking and paralizing denial... for here you will be heared and cared and loved in safety and with much empathy... for on mothers day we can once again celebrate, celebrate that we live on and survived!
