I'm really sorry to hear that Cheryl, if anything it makes me even more upset about what happened here, since thi sis supposed to be the safe haven from what you experience day to day in the real world.
I know it seems crazy, but down the road when you are where you want to be, it will make you all the prouder to have gotten there to have survived this type of stuff and to have not let it deter you from your goals. As I like to say about what I went through growing up with abuse. "I walked through the fires of hell and came out the other side scar free. Heck yeah, I'm proud of myself!"
A lot of people don't get how impowering it can be to not only survive something but against all odds come out of it an even better you than before!
