gracey,

i'm a survivor as well. what you did here was MONUMENTAL in your healing. i urge you to print this entire thread out and take it to your t, ok? you were so brave in writing. you will have to continue to be brave if you take it to t.

i'm so sorry that you were hurt. no child deserves to be hurt or used. you are a precious gift to this world, and your parental unit just couldn't see that due to own illnesses and/or meaness.

i applaud you. you are a SURVIVOR. please take this to t, but only if you feel you're ready. you could print it out as well just to keep for when you are ready. you have been so brave here today.

check in with us and let us know how you are and what you decided please?

by the way welcome! you're fine here. you're safe. you did nothing wrong. you're appreciated.
