my deepest thanks to those that have opened the doors in this thread. Abuse in it's many forms can be such an insidious evil and it is only able to rule us as long as we agree to keep our silence and harbour it within, instead of shouting aloud....."It's NOT ok, and it's NOT my shame"

i applaud all who have posted here, and for those yet to do so i say "when you have found the courage within yourself to tell your truth, there are people here willing to listen, to hold you, to support you, to love you. Take back your power, take back the beauty that is you. Let out the loud whispers from within."

Love and blessings.........morwyn
