*hugs* Things can change, it sounds as though you've effected change in your own life. I can't imagine how difficult it is for you to cast a clear eye over such dark dark things. This was a brave piece of writing. Keep casting your light. Keep moving forward, away from what lies behind you.

Thank you so much! internet was down where I'm at all day today and I'm behind on my reading/commenting

I appreciate this comment and writing this was scary but cathartic and truly gave me some perspective moving forward. The hardest part is that I lived in denial for so long that some part of me insists that I'm remembering at all wrong.

I almost took a bye this week when this was the first thing that came to mind when I read the prompt but something Gary said in the GR made me reconsider.

*Hugs* and *Applause* for writing what scares you. This was very well written. I got entangled into the story before I could pull myself out. Good Job!

The rhythm and the pacing of the piece move it along at a pace that really bombards the reader and hammers home the abuse. But the ending was the real kick in the gut.

*Hugs* I am sorry to know this is non- fiction. But you did a great job of conveying the emotions. Raw and disturbing.

This was so well done. I can't imagine it was easy to write, but good for you for getting it out there. It took a lot of bravery to do that.

*hugs*
