    • Close Sexual Abuse

      When I was 9 one of my older brothers (4.5+ years) sexual abused me. My parents and my oldest brother were out. Up to that time this brother was the closest person to me. It shattered my trust. During my childhood I experienced emotional abuse from my Mother & phyiscal abuse from my other brother. A year after the sexual abuse I found myself sitting in class on the last day of school with no friends. Then began my journey into deep loneliness-basically feeling not wanted.

    • Close Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

      I have a 3yr old and 6 yr old. My 3 yr old has taught me the term strong willed child exists. She is complete opposite of my 6 yr old.
