Oh wow Assumpta, your raw honesty and depth is powerful. I could have highlighted most all of this. I had a childhood and beyond that I didn't think I would survive. And now that I have escaped from a toxic husband that I didn't think I would survive, I am reeling from all of it. I have felt that I could not survive on the outside of the "captivity" that I was stuck in. And it has felt difficult to understand why I am free but still feel trapped and stuck.

Who teaches you how to soar, be free and unleash your genius and creativity? You are doing it. It is in surviving, processing, crawling, clawing your way through the dirt. It is realizing your power and that you deserve love, care and the space to be creative. You've got it. You are on that path. And we have hope as we see each other finding our way too.
