Ruchie, I haven't conversed on this post in awhile. Just checking things out to get my mind off my horrible week. Your post spoke to me. My little sister is in an abusive relationship and afraid to leave it. I so hope she gets strong like you and seeks help. I am so afraid for her but she won't let anyone help or help herself. Rest of my family having super rough lives also. I'm so worried about them all. and my IBS is raging. You've given yourself a wonderful gift going for help. In the past I've gone and talked with counsler, very helpful. Second one I tried that is. First one wasn't right and the hypnosis stuff scared me too. Anyway all we can do in this life is keep trying and keep hopeful. I'm sending you good thoughts and also to my little sis.
