Web.....my fight was nothing compared to yours.

The propensity of kids growing up to be a repeat of their enviroment is astounding, scary, and almost a certainty without some type of intervention along the way.

I won't guess anymore about the why's, and how's, to that childhood, but please let me say again, you overcame way more than I ever had to....mine was just coming to the fact I needed to accept life, as it really was, letting go of the boogeymen, facing reality, head on...
Your situation has so many more obstacles to overcome, I am in awe....

On you decisions to life......
To accept life with stepping back away from the comfort of what you do know....
Investigating and finding issues because of changing life circumstances, is growth, and we should never stop as such, to do so is stagnation, followed by death, if not physically, definitely...spiritually.

Thanks Web.....

wishing you a good life!
