Oh, Lizzy...my heart is breaking. No one, especially children, should ever have to feel the way you did and experience those awful, damaging experiences. I am soo sorry. *hugs* But I am thankful that you're a better and stronger person for it. I'm thankful that you're still with us, happy and thriving. I think it was incredibly brave to share your story, and I thank you. It gives me courage to share mine.

Thanks for sharing this, Lizzy! <3

I'd never considered the power in reading parenting guidance books when dealing with this type of trauma. I might take a page from your book! :)
