Thank you so much for your kind words. Writing all of that out was a beginning, I am afraid that it is only the bare bones though. I did it for a couple of hours straight and felt a huge sense of relief to have it out there. It sounds like a soap opera though! I suppose in a sense I was an unwitting victim, but I still blame myself for that. Not so much as a child, but as an adult. I think that the writing is a first step toward what? I am not sure, but it felt good, it felt empowering. I need to continue to add to it as I go along, but I am not sure where to go from there, there are so many points in the story that I can branch off from. Anyway, I am rambling along here. I type away, hit send and then later hope that what I wrote makes some sense. Thanks again.
