((((suzzie)))),

I went through that myself and at first I felt very vulnerable. What helped me a lot was to know that I am not alone in what I experienced, unfortunately many experience troubling things in their childhoods. And the other thing I learned is that people with this history ALL WANT TO HIDE, FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE DISCUSSING IT AND THEY ALL FEEL DAMAGED AND ASHAMED.

So what helped ME was knowing that I am only human and my feelings were NORMAL and shared by others. So I am not separate from others, I am not as damaged as I think, I am within a group of MANY that also struggle. And because I did find the courage to finally share with my therapist, I am here for you encouraging you to do the same along with Sannah. I have gotten to a point where now that I have shared I can work on how that effected me, how I adapted as well and how I can learn to overcome it and finally grow beyond it.

Suzzie, I am not going to say it is not difficult, but it does get easier because you can finally just get it out and truely work on getting past it.

We are here to support you in that Suzzie.
