Some of my clients are abuse survivors. It is never an easy road. I just wanted to thank you for sharing some of your story with us. Your courage and strength are inspiring. Please consider writing that book. The story of your struggle would help so many.

Dear Robin, Do not feel bad about bring up your son's Zach depression. I am in
therapy and dealing with my pain about my abuse. the problem with your son's
depression did not trigger any bad memories in me. I have to face them each week
in therapy and in my nightmares. I talk about the nightmares in therapy and all
the pain. and then I can learn it is ok to cry and tell the bad things that
happend to me. and I am not going to be punished for showing how I feel or
telling what happend to me. so it is ok to talk about depression or nightmares or
any bad thing you or your family or anyone on the list wants to talk about. do
not feel bad that it might make me remember bad things that happend to me. I am
haveing to remember to be able to deal with it in therapy. so keep talking as
much as you want or need to. it is ok. and I will be ok to. I have the Lord on my
side. and He helps me deal with my pain and He lets me know in a lot of ways that
it is ok to cry and talk about my pain. that is the only way I can heal.  Lynn
