Kevin, thank you for recommending this book. I'm still reading and finding there to be a lot of information that hits me hard. Growing up, our household was always in some sort of chaos and uproar with physical punishment dealt-out on a daily basis. I have a lot of emotional garbage, more so than I ever imagined. For years I've tried to ignore or push back the emotional and psychological damage and the sexual abuse that I endured. I now feel that sending all this pain below has led to the manifest of my health issues. I've got a lot of work to do. Just this weekend, I was able to tell my husband about how I was sexually abused as a child by a church deacon, my dentist, and my father. It was difficult for me to do, but I got it OUT.
