First of all, I read your whole post and am so sorry that you had to grow up in all that! ...

To answer your last question, and at the risk of sounding cliche ...

It begins with learning to love ourselves first - especially those parts we think are flawed, ugly, broken!

These are the parts that helped us to survive it all in the first place ...







Embrace Them Mightily!

Wishing You The Best Throughout Your Healing Journey!
