others, you are brave and you are kind. Don't cut yourself short. There is a time, however, when we need the help of therapy. There is nothing wrong with that. As some abused children know , there are things that no matter how we try , can trigger us back to the days of the abuse. You are wise to recognize the fact, we do need at times help. Take it as an opportunity to continue with your life's journey.
Remember John, you are loved,
