No soldier in the thick of war ever endured the pain that a child experiences when a parent does not protect them and even worse, when a parent abuses them and makes them an object, stripping away not only their security but their identity as well.<br />When an enemy fires upon a soldier, the soldier does not think, "What did I do? I must be bad? If he wants to hurt me I must have done something wrong?" But a child who somehow intuitively knows that daddy is supposed to love and protect her can only reason that if he does not, it must be my fault.<br />I still dream, it still terrifies me, I sometimes drink too much to stop the tape from running. But you and I are the THRIVERS, not Survivers, Thrivers. We have planted new crops in the old toxic soil and tended each row until new life would grow. You are amazing and give me courage, power, hope. No, it never ends but we have stopped letting it stop us. Love you.
