I agree with everything you said. 11 years of sexual, emotional and verbal abuse almost destroyed me. Alcohol, drugs, eating disorders, and after I surrendered all of that and changed, I still wouldn’t face my “Demons.” It made me very sick from the time I was 18 on. It wasn’t until I landed in the hospital with the eating disorder that I was told I needed to deal with my past pain... and my father. It terrified me. But with God, I did it. And as you said, it was a very very long process and very very painful. But it was so worth it. The PTSD and all of it conditions were bad enough but I developed dozens of other diseases as well. Because I took so many years to deal with it, I believe that my chemistry changed and set me up for disease… Mostly neurological. Facing our demons is challenging but the only way to full recovery. Isolation was my worst enemy. Today, I reach out to help people in need almost every day. It brings me out of myself and helps me not focus the chronic physical pain. Thank you so much for sharing. 💖💐
