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...
Healing from child abuse can be a winding path, once described as a "spiral - a repeated traversing of the issues, layer by layer, piece by piece, sorting and resorting, until the toxicity of the abusive experiences has been released." (Baringer 1992)

I got things on clearance and sale for the living room for the walls and got someone to slap a coat of paint on there and it looks great. In fact, I got rid of the bigger lamp and got a smaller one for the living room that was on a good sale and it's smaller, has more color and I put in a "warm" bulb instead of a "bright white" bulb. It casts a nice warm light to it. at night.
My bedroom has been changed with a new coat of paint and I got a package of white sheer curtains on clearance that have some sparkle to them and they go over the blinds. The sparkle feels like it sparkles just for me.
I also found two posters of famous artwork that are about 11 x 16 and pick cats or dogs that look like yours. I found frames for them at Walmart and hung them in my bedroom. They make me smile every time I look at them. So I found the Ragdoll cats that look like my cat I call The Boss and here's the two artwork poster I now have on my bedroom walls:
