Your story made a life change difference for the better in me. I was afraid of everything. I thought everyone could see that I was abused.

I have grown because I know there are people like you who care enough to share the pain I kept hidden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>God Bless You.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Merideth<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Merideth,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>You&#8217;re welcome! Thank you for sharing. I understand being afraid of everything. That comes when one doesn&#8217;t feel secure. I believe each of us has the ability to heal if we want to. It&#8217;s no doubt hard work, but possible. In sharing with each other we learn from each other about what is possible. I feared sharing at one time, too. It takes time to build trust and share. I am glad that you chose to share with me. That&#8217;s a great step towards feeling free from the burden of your past. Though past pain can&#8217;t be seen like outside bruises, it can be seen in the way one carries oneself when one&#8217;s confidence and self esteem have taken a blow. Sadness can be seen. Please take care of yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>God bless you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Karen<\/span><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Merideth\u00a0on 16 Sep 2010 at 3:35 am I am so happy to connect with you.
