Oh my! I just saw this beautiful post of yours JIP now for the first time!
How precious. I will try and share parts of it in tomorrow's Chizuk e-mail.
Your story or pain and recovery is one of the most passionate and inspiring I have ever seen.
I have a meeting in a few weeks IY"H with Dov Hikind who deals with Child Abuse issues. I want to show him your story.
If anyone else on this forum was abused and found healing through GYE, please send me your story and testimonial, so I can show it at the meeting as well!
JIP, your story shows how anyone, no matter how battered and hurt, abused and lost, can find help and hope, freedom and recovery, if they only have the tools and the support they need!
May Hashem truly bless you to go from strength to strength.
