Sug, another book for you to read. I wish you lived closer so we could share. You must check out Lynn329's book, Beyond The Tears. It's listed on the Boomer Books page on this site. I'm almost finished and I've got to tell ya, it's awesome.

I have never been physically, sexually, or verbally abused so when I've listened to women who have I just didn't get it. Lynn's book has allowed me to GET IT. It's brutally honest with lots of therapeutic words thrown in. I've learned a tremendous amount that will allow me to be a much more compassionate person when listening to victims of abuse.

I mention this because you mention healing. I don't know exactly from what you need to heal, but I think anyone who reads this book would be inspired. I know I am.
