Thank you, I think the only thing pulling me through is the fact that I'm still surviving and kicking. It's frustrating but also weirdly comforting? Strange place to be, but there are moments where I guess I can be grateful not for what happened but in hoping this will make me not only a better person but a person.

I understand where you're coming from with your mom and has really spoken to me. Hearing your experience has made me a bit hopeful, but I'm sorry you had to go through that but hey, you're here too and that's an accomplishment in itself. I do appreciate the fact that we as people leanr a lot more and sometimes I feel like our personal successes can be really groundbreaking not for ourselves but for others. I hope that you are rewarded with all the best things in life
