thank you denuseri for starting this thread.

i feel like i should share my experiences.

like ashton, my abuse was also verbal and emotional but it was from the hands of my father.
he's a perfectionist who would rather try to "perfect" someone else's life than his own.

the abuse led me to be anorexic from the age of 9 to 15, and after four suicide attempts i was forced into recovery.

i was also raped quite recently, and i was told, by afew people who are close to me, that i should "consider myself lucky because i deserved more than what i got."

i would love to say that i have taken something from those experiences, and that they have made me stronger....
but i honestly cant, its something that i struggle with everyday and a good amount of time i dont think things will ever get better.

Master has been a huge support system for me, and i honestly dont think i would be here talking about this right now if it werent for Him.
