Survivors Unite - A Must See Video!!!
You know Sandy always says God puts the right people at the right time exactly when you need them in your lives. Sometimes this can be on a virtual level as well I do believe. If you are a survivor of life or know a survivor of life in whatever way it means to you, I am sure you will appreciate this video.
- **Ya Think**
- Lodi, California, United States
- I was raised in Wyoming where the Small Town Environment never left my soul. I have returned to California after living several years in the South. I look forward to life here and am grateful for the opportunity to return home in such a magnificent way!! Thank you my dear friends who all made this possible

Veterans of war on our home soil is what we are. This was a great video.
I've spent the last year looking at myself. Looking at my body, not comparing it, just being curious because I used to pretend it wasn't there. Duh! And telling my body I love it and thanking it, too, for trying to protect me. Thanking my female parts for being me, part of my female-ness - part of my identity and being thankful I have the purty flower parts, and not all those "stamen" - hee hee - or are they pistols?
Its a bit harder to accept the aging signs - oi -
but its good to feel good - to feel united. And there are days I have to remember to feel that way.
But - yes! Yes we are.
"H" in counseling and FINALLY dealing - there is a pretty awesome person in there!
I hate how hard that asshole made us work for our sanity - all of our lives. Maybe it'll make some sense when we get to heaven.
The "not my fault statement" - my mother is still saying when she hears of abuse, insinuating that it was the girls' fault in some way - never will be able to accept that. Maybe its only NOT about the girls. Ya know. But not to post too personal of things...
Anyway thanks for posting this.
This was a great response!! You know I have always liked 'H'. Even the recent picture you posted of him shows a gateway to his soul. I believe he has a good one. I am glad he is in counseling!! I am glad you both hung in there.
Yes, this was an awesome video. It kind of validated my leaving the hospital early as I did.
I cannot believe your mom is still saying it is not her fault. They were adults and they all should have known 'L' was not a balanced man.
As far as I am concerned all of us that were involved in this at children deserve veterans awards.
I am still working on the looking in the mirror thingie. It is not easy. When I see my age I see a life missed. Instead I must concentrate on my life yet to live. I admire you for living your life the last year or so. Welcome home.
Love you Gardenia!!
