{{{{{{Toni}}}}}} I am sending cyber hugs to you. Your post breaks my heart. Mine was my grandfather. You are NOT alone. I'm sorry for your pain. I am here to listen and read. You will find yellow again. It doesn't feel like it, but you will find your soul again because it wasn't your fault. My husband had me listen to REM's Everybody Hurts when I began having flashbacks. It helped. I have a feeling that you are crying. Get yourself a stuffed animal and honor the little girl who was betrayed. She needs to feel safe. You are safe. You are safe. You are in my prayers. hugs & blessings, Renee

Hi Toni;)
Thank you for visiting my blog. Listen, that person is sending those letters about Rosie to whoever will listen. Rosie has done many good things for people. She uses her money to help children. As far as I'm concerned she deserves the benefit of the doubt.
People like to hurt people. I don't know why that is. I think that you are very brave for writing your poems and acknowleding what happened. You really aren't alone. Just breathe and try to keep talking about it.
There is a wonderful and I mean wonderful therapy called EMDR. If you are having flashbacks, you should find out about EMDR. It worked wonders for me. It releases the pain and disarms the hurt. I swear, it is a God-send therapy.
Take care and don't be alone;) hugs xoxoxo Renee
