Fruits Basket Addendum
This really doesn't have much, if anything to do with Fruits Basket, but it has a little more to do with the topic of abuse. After dissecting it and looking at the different types of scars, I feel like it's necessary to say that these scars can heal. There is no predetermined time table or anthing like that, but there is a source of peace that will heal you a piece at a time if you let him. In coming to Christ I've found hope and rediscovered a sense of self worth. Here are two links that explore how it's done.

I think all of us pick up a few scars as we travel through life. Sometimes I feel like I have more than my fair share, but then I remember I got more than my fair share of the good stuff too. I hope any that found themselves in the Fruits Basket series will most of all find themselves in these talks.
