Hi Nicoleflynn,

It sounds like you've been through a lot of abuse. My heart goes out to you.

How have you managed to move forward and find joy? Was it really hard to make that conscious choice and refuse to allow it to control your life? Were you able to re-instill faith in humanity after the abuse and betrayals? Perhaps you could share some of your hard-earned insight with us.

Thanks,
HD7970ghz
