It sucks.. to be treated that way... I too a shy, senistive, very sweet child... abused.. always told.. too shy.. too senistive.. too sweet even... like I could control my genetics..blamed for being "me"... and then on top of that abused..

As I raised my son...(23 yr on Monday).. I noticed that he was very senistive... and I nutured that.. and protected him, and showed him to protect and accept himself.

So.. (((fuzzy)))... and (((me))).. we were ok.. it was the others around us that weren't....
Blah to those people...
