Hi

[Plenum]

My history of childhood abuse and sexual abuse leads me to a situation where I am improving and being "less anxious" as time goes by but i anticipate that it will still take several years to a decade until I'm entirely stable.

I am sorry to hear that this is in your past. But as more and more stories come out, the percentage of abuse victims seems to climb and climb. Where are we at at the moment, 5% ... 10%? and this cuts across gender lines. Very sad to even think about. I will forever be grateful that I had 2 parents that did the best they could in the circumstances, and a wide extended family of more than 5 uncles and aunts that were always there to watch over us (and did so).

peace brother
