"Maybe that's a female thing, but it's crazy how you have to talk yourself into protecting yourself and allowing yourself to expand. … Anaïs Nin has this beautiful quote. 'And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.' There are times in every woman's life where she does need to get out and expand and do all those things that make her the best version of herself." — Meg Ryan

HUGS FOR YOU!!! healing does happen it just takes time
All I am going to say at this point is that I was sexually abused as a child and I was also raped when I was a teenager and I have to live with this everyday of my life. I am having a hard time because I am a mother of a young child who I just found out recently has been sexually abused by someone I thought I could trust. My son will not eat at all and this started 3 days ago and I am scared to death. He has seen 2 doctors and they say he is doing this because of what he just went through. HELP!
