I ha...I can't say I'm enjoying the story... I hate that any child can be hurt like that.<br /><br />I have friends and people close to me who could write parts of your story... and worse, one or two who stayed in their abusive homes until they escaped by turning 18.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this, it must be wrenching to write it, but cathartic, too.<br /><br />Eric (my hubby) said that he had an epiphany one day when he was about 14, just after his mother left him for the final time.<br /><br />He said that he realized he could let the fact that all those awful things had happened to him turn him into a drunk, abusive continuation of the family, or he could decide not to let that dictate for him.<br /><br />He chose to turn.<br />Inner strength.<br /><br />He has it. And I can see yours, too.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353667980806676067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158108616651154469.post-71673871691163971872011-03-22T10:57:50.428-07:002011-03-22T10:57:50.428-07:00rad :-)rad :-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986194806692869249noreply@blogger.com
