okie, You have the right to post your story, and if you feel the need to, you should even if it looks like others. You have these rights because you also have a right to heal. The more we tell our stories, the more power it takes out of the abuse. Facing your truth, revealing your truth, and speaking your truth is very important to healing. Yes, we have a lot in common, but that doesn't make your pain go away by itself.

And you can live with the knowledge and the truth. The truth, and horror, of your past was decided by someone else. You don't have to own that -- it wasn't your fault. Today, you have the power to choose how you will heal. That will be your new truth. Most importantly, we can all do this together. You are not alone.

be well,
