Every holiday was an abuse fest for real! — Not fun.

Christmas— Thanksgiving— Easter.— New Year's — 4th of July

Yes, I’m talking to you! — Or maybe, someone you know. — It sucks for real!

I have found that many writers on Medium were abused.

Maybe as kids or as adults, or often BOTH. The good news is, we survived. We may be dragging along a shitload of painful baggage, but we made it.

𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒕! — Maybe we started writing to cope!

This crap can chase you throughout your life!

There is more good news. 🩹 Medium helps you heal!

Medium folks are kind, so you’re safe. So please share! — It’s so healing. Sharing here has healed me so much, I cannot even begin to say!

Example A…Let’s talk about Christmas.

Christmas Eve night and 4 kids snuggle in bed, anticipating morning gifts to come on Christmas Day.
