I Hate Violence

Ppl often ask me about my past. Well...being from a family of privilege isn't always what it really is behind closed doors. My dad was a doctor and a respected by his peers. I have experienced violent physical abuse, mental cruelty and emotional distress for most of my young life! It's a wonder to me how I haven't taken my own life. If it weren't for my maternal grandparents that were very loving, kind and nurturing...I would've suceeded in doing so! I have PTSD.... Whenever I hear a child crying, I go into a panic... It's sometimes sad to me that it effects me still! I guess that's why I got into helping abused dogs.... I feel their pain! I am not strong enough to help kids! I also help out with the elderly.
Finally, for those that thought I was a spoiled, stuck up and nasty person... I am soooo not that at all. I forgave my dad in his final days... I did it for me! And like the song...turn the page.
Sincerely,

The public doesn't realize that a "successful" person can be hiding a lot behind closed doors. I am sorry that you suffered as you were growing up.
Forgiving gives you a chance to grow.
