Just catching up.
I wish I had some advice or words for those of you who have been victims of abuse. I simply don't because I have no experience in the area. I would just pray that each of you find the peace you seek.
Emme, glad you chose to post first. I'm amazed by the great responses of everyone here. It goes to show you we can do together what we cannot do alone. All of us will have weak moments, and that's when we need others to help us alone.
It's late and I'm tired. But I'll wake up clear headed.
