My tears writing my comment cannot ever change what happened to you. Nor can I know your pain. I hope you continue to love that beautiful little girl inside you. I too hold childhood trauma, and write about it often because it's helping me to heal. My forgiveness is for me - because the little girl in me still holds shame and guilt even though none of it was ever my fault. And I should have zero to hold guilt & shame over.

But this isn't about me. This is about you. Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities in such a raw piece. I won't give you any advice because I don't know you and you didn't ask for any. Sending warm, healing vibes your way. 💛
