A great contest entry. I remember can be both good and bad and you show how the horrors of abuse stay with you. Good luck in the contest.

A powerful piece of writing friend, and one that unfortunately i think a few of your readers will be able to relate to. I believe some scars will never heal completely , they just won't, how can they. Your choice for the I remember competition is well written, well thought out and definitely a thought provoker. Good luck!!

Thank you Mary,
I appreciate your exceptional review.
It means ao much to have my journey understood with compassion.
I first spoke of my abuse here on Fanstory in 2o13 and have found great
therapeutic value in my writing, understanding, compassjon and support from
some members of this community ans new freedom.
Thank you for walking this chapter with me as it joins the others in my book 'Walk With Me.
