It sounds as if you really are on the right track! I am so happy for you that you have a great relationship with your husband. I had abusive parents too and here at seventy almost six I still so damaged by them although at the end my father became a hero to me. I think prayer is the only answer to he;p those feelings of being so damaged. You are blessed that your parents' affect haven't interfered with your relationship with your husband.
I am so pent up that I don't want to be anonymous . I feel there is an explosion inside of me/ I am sure you don't have that.
I loved that you really like wild animals/
what are your goals?
fondly
