From the heart

As I wake up the sound I hear is not one I am happy to hear. It is raining outside and today of all days is not a good day to have to go out and deal with life

I am sorry for all you went through. I'm so glad you were able to confront him, to let him know that what he was doing was unacceptable. That's such a difficult thing to do. I could never gather the courage to do the same.

Getting the courage was sure not easy. But no one else was able to help me but me. So I did what I had to do.

I sm so sorry you had to go through what you did. I am proud of you (I know it sounds corny cause we dont know each other) for working through it and starting the healing process. It's not an easy one, but it is well worth it.

Thanks so much for sharing this... ((Hugs))

You are welcome. It has been years in the coming to this point.

This is a tough entry...now I can see why some of the entries I've written really resonated with you so much...*nods*

Even when you're able to get away from the abuse...there's not a day that goes by when it's away from your head...

*chin up*

Telling my uncle off was the start. The next day was when I was standing on the bridge looking out at the ocean. I knew I could somehow get through this. And you are right, there is not a day it is not there in the mind.

Given your history and your willingness to share, this was a very good take on the topic. I love how you structured this with short paragraphs. The imagery about the sunset going to the other side of the world was just beautiful.

Some things just flow out of my mind and hands when I write. Glad you liked this.

The scars may never go away completely. If anything, they are there to remind you of how far you have come. Trust me, I've had my share of very dark times in my life too. It's only been within the last couple of years that I have been able to hate myself a little less (but trust me, I have such strong self-loathing, it would shock most people).

Good luck in the tie breaker. This season has been brutal to many of my really good friends :(

[creature_girl08]

Oh yes, I imagine the scars will always be there. Thanks and you are right, it has been a rough season indeed.
