Candybear,

Shadow is right, you are a brave and courageous survivor and I admire your strength in sharing.

You are not insane. You are dealing with a horrific trauma that is overwhelming.

Healing is a long and difficult process, and some of your coping strategies will be unhealthy but it is how you survived. It is what you know.

Sharing all you did with your T is something you should be proud of. That, my dear, takes the guts of a warrior.

Respectfully,

Petunia
