A Child Abuse Survivors Group Community Group
We survived child abuse, but the pain still remains and so do the other effects which can last a lifetime. We are often unable to find adequate help, and we are seeking answers that can help us understand what happened so that we can go on to lead normal lives. (Please note that this is a group for child abuse survivors only. If you are a professional in the mental health...
What would you undertake in your life if you knew you could not fail? Imagine for a moment that all the failures of all the yesterdays behind you cannot come back to be repeated or to haunt you. It's a brand new day, and in the days ahead you will meet success in everything you do. You are brimming with optimism - a life unimagined awaits you. Age and social position do not matter.

(The purpose of this exercise is to help you believe in dreams and to believe that they can come true if we have the wherewithal to pursue them through the ups and downs of life, the frustrations, the setbacks, the barriers, and the sometimes overwhelming nature of success itself.)

I'd compete with my horses more.
I guess the biggest change if I knew I wouldn't fail is that I would be braver about doing more.

Listen to the Mustn'ts, child,
Listen to the Don'ts
Listen to the Shouldn'ts
The Impossibles, the Won'ts
Listen to the Never Haves,
Then listen close to me -
Anything can happen, child,
Anything can be.
