To SUNDANCE: I appreciate you letting me know that you relate. It helps me deal with the feeling when I understand that I'm not the only one who's responded this way to my own suffering. I'm sorry about what happened to you! If hugs are ok with you, (((((((((((((((sundance)))))))))))))))). Here's to hoping we can both accept and overcome the pain that we've had!!!!

It's something that I feel alot of us go through, everyone thinks people have gotten it worse, and that may be the case, but abuse is abuse none the less and it in away effects us all the same. Some people can get healed quicker then others, but we all hit the same road to healing, I know you will be ok with this, I am not... It took me like 6 yrs, and my Psychiatrist kept telling me that it's abuse, people have it worse, people have it less.. and she had to keep hammering that into my head. It effected me enough to develop PTSD... so harm was done.... now that i've accepted it and almost completely healed I feel good....Finally I feel good.
