    Greetings...

    This is more difficult than I imagined it to be. . .

    Where shall I begin?

    Hm.

    Three years ago, I left a man who is a brute.

    I've been regrouping since, getting a better footing, creating some sense of order in my external life so that I might balance my inner equilibrium.

    Finally, I am getting through the bulk of those particular experiences.

    My hope now is to address things that happened 20 years ago this year. Things so buried that even a glimpse overshadows the day and darkens the depths of my soul.

    A latent infection, it has crept quietly into so many facets of my being- the cumulative effects have all but immobilized me.

    I know who I am, yet I feel to be but a shadow of that person I remember being.

    I have worked up some courage to take this beast head-on.

    Posting here is part of my reaching out.

    I think I'm ready. I hope I'm ready. I want to be ready.

    Goodness knows, I want to end this suffocating compulsion to quiet the silent screams of my heart.

    I want to feel ALIVE again.

    I will not give up.

    Many thanks
