My wish for you is that you find a better way to deal than alcohol Cecilia.
I hope you find a healthy happy way to heal those old wounds and find your place in the world - you deserve it
I agree with Marcher too - you can play the cynic and say the hugs here are not real...but they really are.
The power of perfect strangers caring for me, and caring what happened to me was like a thundebolt, Cecilia.
It knocked me off my feet. That bought me to the first glimmerings of hope...maybe believing I had some self worth after all
You do too.
In the end it's down to us sure, but none of us needs to do this alone, Cecillia
