I'm so sorry you went through all that. It sounds very traumatic and would take anyone almost superhuman strength to get past. It's no wonder you struggle now so much. On top of it, it's probably difficult to meet other women your age because many have not gone through a traumatic experience like that and how do you bond? Are you able to find any support groups? Therapy?

Thanks for your intro BornBroken. You have been through so much - and been able to rise above it. I hope you find a great community here and I look forward to hearing more from you.

You have been through so much my gosh. I am so sorry for everything you are going through and have been through. I hope you get to see your grandchild one day soon.

I hope you can also reach out to others where you live now-I think Liese had some great suggestions. Maybe you could find an abuse survivors meet up group near you?

Or call a women's shelter and ask about resources such as low-cost or free group therapy where you can interact with others who are having problems. You don't have to be a victim of domestic violence to seek help-they are usually more than willing to help, especially with social support for women who are economically disadvantages.

Establishing some social support is vital. If you reach out, you might realize you are not alone as you think. That others who are suffering can be understanding and empathize with your pain, connect with you.

Wishing you well and for better days ahead.

thank you!!!!

Hi BornB,
I'm sorry for all your losses and hope that you can get some support and direction torn bo help you move forward. I worry that you call yourself born broken because I know that ou were born perfect like all of God's children. I hope that you can begin to see yourself as you really are.

Hi, bornB- and welcome here..I hope you will find the support that you need, and be able to find some comfort and peace. I'm so sorry that it has been so very difficult for you. Thank you for sharing about what you have gone through with us-

Really glad to have you here.

I came back to read your response, and re-read mine that you quoted. My response to you reminded me of a Ny Times article-the column about health and the economy--where people comment about the article posted..Well....people were talking aobut losing their jobs, their homes, and several doctors were suggesting that to cope--people need to do breathing exercises and meditation!!! While those things are good strategies, they don't seem appropriate in response to life crises.

After that, there was an article about the high rate of suicides for medical students. The author (a medical doctor herself) was asked "what is the answer to this?". The experienced doctor said, "no one knows". I was waiting for someone to chime in-"breathing exercises!" Not one doctor suggested breathing exercises to help the students....

So I hope my response to you didn't make you feel that i was minimizing your pain. I am sorry if it did.

You deserve lots of love and support. I really hope things get better for you. I hope coming here at least makes you feel less alone.
