Hi Yvonnie,
I just read your article, and Wow it really touched a lot of chords within me.
Thank You.
My Mother grew up in a violent home, and had seen her mother beaten at a tender age.
That trickled down to me.
I'm 51, and very passively accept the hurts.
But, your practical understanding and ability to articulate that into useful tools in your article is very soothing to me.
Thank You,
Burt B.
