Every holiday was an abuse fest for real! โ€” Not fun.

Christmasโ€” Thanksgivingโ€” Easter.โ€” New Year's โ€” 4th of July

Yes, Iโ€™m talking to you! โ€” Or maybe, someone you know. โ€” 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.

This crap can chase you throughout your life!

There is more good news. ๐Ÿฉน Medium helps you heal!

Medium folks are kind, so youโ€™re safe. So please share! โ€” Itโ€™s so healing. Sharing here has healed me so much, I cannot even begin to say!

Example Aโ€ฆLetโ€™s talk about Christmas.

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

โฐ Morning comes and we would all scurry to see what Santa left.

There were always gifts for us kids. We were middle class and the presents were wrapped and really beautiful.๐ŸŽ ๐ผ๐“‰ ๐“Œ๐’ถ๐“ˆ ๐’ž๐’ฝ๐“‡๐’พ๐“ˆ๐“‰๐“‚๐’ถ๐“ˆ ๐“‚โ„ด๐“‡๐“ƒ๐’พ๐“ƒ๐‘”!
