Hi Justice,

Sorry to hear you're having such a tough time of it here.

I think what I hear most from your posts is that you don't feel that anyone understands what you've been through.

And yes, you're right. We might not have experienced living on the streets of LA, but some have lived on the streets of Chicago, some in Boston, some are still out there.

I hear the sharp pain when you talk about your torture and abuse and my heart goes out to you. No one should go through that and I'm sorry you did.

Many here have suffered very similar circumstances. A lot of us know some of what you feel even if we have not walked step-by-step in your shoes. Unfortunately, abuse is abuse is abuse and the threads are common.

I read your post in the Grief Forum. I lost my father at a young age and it was the beginning of a messed up life for me, so I do know what that feels like, just not what you feel like. But maybe we can learn from each other or at least listen.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you are not alone with your feelings. Sharing them here can be very healing.
Working through your anger is a good thing. You have every right to be extremely pissed off.

I really do think we get where you're coming from. I hope you know that.

Petunia
