So good to hear from you again, Scatterbrained! The list of those who have posted here over the last 8-9 years is very long, but most have gone silent years ago, and I have assumed they are not even reading here. We share a deep and painful connection ... whether we sit in silence, or speak up from time to time.
Your thoughts on the life-long effects of child abuse, and how to survive even when not all of those effects can be erased, are very good.
Maybe we can get a new conversation going here.
Or maybe not.
Either way ... I am send out lots of warm, loving thoughts to all who understand.
