You are doing wonders and working hard towards your freedom and a happier life.
I am too very proud of you and inspired by the courage you are showing us all.
This is all very difficult and you have the plus traumas from an abusive R. No one deserves this, but as you said we all have some responsibility for letting it happen and then letting it get out of control.
But this is life and maybe the way we learn and become better for ourselves. You are a fantastic person and I am sure that bit by bit you will put your life back together and have it the way it pleases you.
Love all your answers about your health and how you are taking good care after yourself. There is just so much you can do. The exercise is a HURRAY! so, so good for us all. Great job V.
Your pirate ship is getting a big clean up and soon we will see the Queen's ship w/a sharp, intelligent, smart and beautiful captain...
