Getting stronger.

This DS support site is really helping me to not feel so very alone in life. 
Like all of you, I am going through a lot of painful insight, learning, growth and acceptance of life even with the terrible twist and turns involved all the way along. 
There is improvement in my understanding of so many things that I simply wasn't aware of before.  Awareness seems to have been the first step.  No more hiding behind the walls or in the suit of armor. 
Acknowledgment of what was, acknowledgment of the pain, letting go of the fear, allowing some vulnerability but not without choosing to (or with whom), accepting what is and the willingness to address it on different levels has been the key to any progress with my many issues mentally/physically/emotionally.
Thank you for your support and I will give what I can in return because I have made enough progress to see that life really is worth the trip, regardless of the black holes.
