(((((emotionally dead)))))

First I send you a gentle hug and want you to know that we are here to support you and that we care. I am sorry for all you have gone through and I know it was and is tough. What you went through is horrible and it is no less than anyone elses. Everyone's story is important and what you went through is important.

You had a big responsibility at a young age and you did the best you could. Mental and physical abuse is not okay no matter what. Physical abuse leaves marks that go away----but inside they remain. Mental abuse lives on in our minds. I do hope you will get some help irl. I hope you will look into it. You are worth it and deserve to be heard and helped. Until then, so glad you found pc and know that we are here to listen and support you. We do care.

I am glad to hear you say that you will keep posting that is important. Thank you for trusting enough to post your story. That took alot of courage. I am sorry for the way Rose treated you. It sounds like you loved her so much. Remember none of us are perfect but you did the best you could.

Know we are here for you anytime you need to talk. Remember you are important----just as important as the next person. Hang in there and let us know how you are doing.
