Of all the abuse I endured for the first 33.5 years of my life (sexual, physical, verbal & emotional) ...

The long-term impact of the verbal & emotional abuse has been the most difficult to overcome.

This year, I am celebrating my 30th Anniversary of escaping that little house of horrors I grew up in.

I'm still in therapy, and the last 10 years have been the most productive.

It took years to find one, but the therapist I see now is an expert in long-term trauma and abuse.

We've made more progress in the last 10 years than I ever did in the first 20.

Don't give up, y'all ...

The process is arduous, but it's well worth the journey ...

: I will keep that in mind

This life will be good and beautiful, but not without heartbreak.

In death come peace. But pain is the cost of living.

Like love, it's how we know we're alive.

And life goes on.
