Amen Mark! Speaking from personal experience, it has been a long path to
recovery. The pain from childhood abuse never fully goes away, I think, but
it does ease with time. I was a wild teenager, and didn't really abuse anyone
but myself, but that was bad enough. In a sick way, I thought I deserved it.
My life changed when I started cultivating myself and when I saw a therapist.
I had a great one, an older female lady who was a hippie. I would love to add
more, but I'm at Mom's house and it's din-din time! :)
Lovin Y'all,
