Always good to see you! I think becaus...Hi Gail,<br /> Always good to see you! I think because I lived it and it gives insight that a person who never experienced domestic abuse could never relate to. I don't know a time when I didn't have to deal with. Born in to a violence and abuse, though I consistently wanted to run away, instead I adjusted to the world I lived in. I was aprox. ten years old when I knew that this world of mental health was not right or acceptable behavior. It takes its tool not only emotionally but physically the body reacts to the stress. I so wanted to bring change to the world in a form that made mental health less of a taboo. <br />I never imagined that my adult life would have many of the same experiences that I had gone through as a child. I knew better how could this be happening. Adapting in the sense that I learned to avoid pushing buttons and also to calm the savage beast allowed me to exist in a world that no one should. <br />In reaching out to help others, as helped me in the healing process. I don't dwell on the past, I feel as if I digested it and my survival is on today. <br />There are many things missing in my life, I crave the comfort and support that I myself had lived years upon years without. <br />I use to say that the tears were always behind my eyes and though I am known for laughing, the tears are always there.<br />You are a very nice person and I thank you for stopping by and sharing with me. <br />Sometimes the sadness is overwhelming, as if every step forward reveals a step back. I guess it is because all the experiences are part of who I am, I can't strip that from being. <br />I don't think he understand how much he hurts me.Children with out voiceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488135366287070304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271803677055297074.post-64567318068914547072009-11-05T14:54:16.695-08:002009-11-05T14:54:16.695-08:00HI_

Long term effects! And you are SOright - there is NO right or wrong way to go about ones healing journey - nor is there a right time or a better time or any time other than the time that makes sense to the person deciding WHEN it's time!! <br />Your work here is so valuable and I applaud your commitment.<br />Love and hope<br />Gail<br />peace.....Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.com
