   You're welcome. I'm sorry you found it so relatable and grew up in an abusive home too. I think what's standing out to me as an adult is how my teenage self would construct narratives to give herself hope. Jim was imagined as a perfect, loving man, and secretly in love with my

    You've been through such a lot, and I think it's wonderful that you're channeling it into something positive and both educating and connecting with others. I'm sorry to hear that your life was almost ended at 50 and I'm very glad you're still here, too. I thought that I was
