Oh yes, I can related to all of this. I thought I was broken. Really. I have a history of sexual trauma and I thought it broke me. I knew I was...
Hi there. Something else you can consider is going to see a therapist and planning only to tell the therapist that you have something to say that...

Yay Katchoo! I'm so happy for you! And I love that your mom seemed to think that the dangers of hellfire were about as worrisome as the dangers of...
