I am sad that you have endured abuse and trauma. It seems you have preserved your core. You seem warm and empathetic.

I do have that book. When I got it, I picked a chapter from the table of contents and read a bit of it. I felt pummeled by it. I think I am afraid of how overwhelming it will be to read it and touch that pain. But I will put it on my pile to read. Thank you for suggesting this.

Thank you again for reading, connecting, sharing and encouraging!
