      I have at least 2 dyslexic children, the others are little so I am suspecting maybe a couple more. I used to think it was only the being really slow in school but when my oldest dyslexic hit teenage years then I realized there was more to it. Now I am trying to catch up in learning everything about dyslexia.

      I suffered my abuse at the hands of my grandfather for 8 years plus. For me healing is tough, because I have to face all the emotions that I didn't understand when I wasa child. I am in talk therapy and it is helping, but sometimes my therapist doesn't understand me, he has not ever walked an inch in my shoes. Everyday brings healing, be supportive, encouraging, let him feel the feelings he has. Let him know it is ok to feel that way but there is a eeter way to feel. This was done to him, stress that, he had no control over the choices ade, and he should let go of the shame and guilt he feels.

      I had to laugh at your friend request comment! I have been doing a lot of inner child work, which means that somewhere inside of me is a little girl, who used to be me, and she endured the abuse. So, I have been trying to reteach HER all of the lessons that her family taught her to survive, that do not help ME in the adult world. In essence, I have a little girl to help recover who is at the same time, 4,5, 9 and 11 years old, the years I endured the most life changing traumatic events. If I am any good at knowing what your grandson is going through, it is because I am helping that little girl that was me get through it too, and have been in close contact with her, learning how she felt and why. So, forgive me if I laugh, but it is so nice to know that she can give me insights to help understand another child. That is a lot of progress for me! Some day I hope that my inner child and I will become more as one, but right now, because I left my body during the abuse, she is the one holding the memories and feelings of that time. Hard to explain, not a multiple, yet not really me either. Anyhow, thank you for the smiles, though they were probably not intentional on your part. Any progress in my recovery is a good reason to smile, and you showed me that progress! Thanks! And if you ever have questions, I am here!
