Sister,
OMG OMG OMG

you and Inny both in the same 24 hrs completely different contexts but both mentioned that 'Inner Child'....

If I take the time to write it out, it might not sink in, but I think my awakening is about it's my INNER CHILD that is wounded and abandoned and abused and neglected, and I will work on that......

.....and concurrent to that, my Adult Self CAN and WILL function.

It's my inner child that wants to hide.

thanks for ~ well, thanks!
