Relearning

Hi, today is the 26th of Feb. 2009 I have been staying with my sister and spending time with my son and her family. I have been very selfish with her feelings over my experiences as a child and we have been doing our best to work things out for the kids and ourselves. She told me that as long as our children were in therapy for something other than what we went through as children than we did ok as parents. The government is being less than receptive however in regards to our recovery, and it is/has been effecting alot of people we grew up with. I'm still working on divorce procedures with my ex, and as soon as I find the right lawyer...I miss the sun but spring is right round the corner and I am happy I think despite the fact tons of people want to kill me. It's not shameful to me to remember how happy I was as a child nor do I feel much regret about being militantly against child abuse, and this is where I am internally. My son is almost twelve and as a bi-racial boy growing up here, I'm grateful to be able to provide guidance for him when I can. Ok, thanks,
Jennifer

I sincerely hope you and your sister can heal together. You both certainly deserve to heal.

And just for the record, the world needs militant people working towards an end to child abuse.
