Thank you, Rose. I hope this doesn't sound horrible, but it helps that someone else has been through this too. Not that I'm glad that you were abused, but my burden feels a little lighter knowing someone else knows how this feels. I just want to hug the little girls in us, those lost and lonely girls. I know I will never bring my daughter to feel that way. It is healing in a way, raising a daughter (it's different from raising my son somehow), but traumatic too.
