Absolutely yes, you did an amazing thing for those kids. Thank you!
Pamper yourself, go on a long walk, take a steaming bath or something that feels like an award. You handled a really bad situation with grace and excellence.
I'm stronger for my past and I know you are too otherwise you wouldn't have the courage to leave xAH or get help for yourself. The same will hold true for the new generation.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
Hold strong! Everything works out in the end.
Plus, this is day 2 for me and I walked past the liqour store. In fact, I went inside and left with only a pack of cigarettes. So I'm going to take my own advice and take a bath when i get home.
