Hi. I'm a 24 year old sexual and physical abuse survivor. My mother is a drug addict. I lived with her during my childhood, and now I'm working on healing myself and accomplishing my dreams.
Treatments

- Music Working / Worked
- Always puts me in a better mood... but I have a tendency to pick sad songs when I'm already quite low.
- Rape Counseling Considering
- Reading Working / Worked
- This works. Books can calm me down and make me feel safe.

Open Pet Bereavement
Mike, my best friend, passed on in April of '07. She is still a bright beacon of light in my life, and she continues to inspire me. I miss you, doots. Thank you for teaching me about love and deep care. I miss playing ball with you in the back yard and cuddling with you on the couch.
Open Sexual Abuse
I'm 24 years old. I was sexually and physically abused my step father and mother when I was age 5 until 12. I told a counselor when I was 12, and my stepfather went to jail. Though I've healed a lot since then, there's still much more healing to go.
