Lois - sry to be so out of touch, but had pneumonia for a few months, and I've neglected my family. Will write soon! And, my mom is still around (as far as I know, I'm in touch with cousins, so would hear the news, if anything big).
Aunt Fancy - thank you, and yeah, it's hard. Life is not treating me better, but I'm dealing with it in a more positive way, and I guess ....... that's the minimum we can hope for? And, with that minumum, maybe we can build and make things better.
DOC - yup, that is that point. Nothing has changed. and that is the saddest thing. On the other hand..... thank YOU for support - THAT is what it's all about - helping each other heal. It's so important, and let's not lose point of that. We need to heal. When we are healed, we can start looking at making our abusers accountable. xo
yadda yadda - okay, that's wonderful! and is why we share. I'm sorry you had to feel that way, it just makes me feel tired thinking about it, the crap we go through, but sharing makes us stronger. Never forget! :))
Paris - Bring on the TRUTH. Yes! Thank you for your kind words and validation.
Vidiot - yes, it *is* sad, so many new folk, telling the same stores of abuse ... thank YOU; I always enjoy reading you ..... smart, just real, and no axe to grind. xoxo
Thank you, Seraphim! much love to you!
