I'm new here today and am not used to forms but am determined to heal. I've spent my life angry, hurt, devastated, confused and scared. Always so scared. Abuse started just before age five and I am 51 now. I don't want to be scared anymore. I want to take back what was taken from me over these many years. My Soul, My Essence, Me. The little me that didn't have a choice and the grown woman that I wasn't allowed to become.
