I got to do a real life experiment on parenting. I am so sorry that my kids had to live the effects of this. We have two older children (really adult kids) and two younger children. The younger kids are growing up in a very different household. It’s not just the obvious: we have more

How Exactly Can Ignoring Your Past Come Back for You?
I was in High School before I realized that I had been molested. There were still so many questions. I had no idea how long this lasted. I had no idea how far things went. I only had a few revolving memories. There was a lot about my childhood that was just missing. I learned
