Pegasus,
I'm sending you gentle hugs like the brush of butterfly wings.
I feel very angry when I see how my abusers twisted my thinking and feeling - they made me be cruel to myself. I think this is one of the hardest struggles in my life - to stop beating myself up and saying cruel things to myself. They made good evil and evil good and they were totally despicable, rotten, cruel and evil.
Now that I am grown, I have NO sympathy for the devil, the cruelest of cruel beings.
ALL my sympathy is for those who were robbed of innocence, trust, security, peace and joy. We did NOT deserve what happened to us.
I wish I could send a gift of healing to you and to all the others of us on this forum - something beyond sympathy and concern all the way to healing and restoration. But, as I was told as a child, "If wishes were horses we all would ride."
I hope it gets better again, very soon!
Leslie and Angry Pixie
