  • Followed my soul.

    I finished reading "The Fifth Sister: From Victim to Victor – Overcoming Abuse" by Laura Landgraf.  The complexity of incest and its longevity is astounding. To say nothing about the repulsive displays of humanity towards their own, and the powerlessness… Continue reading

    I was wondering if boundaries are what create estrangement?   And, what does it mean to your previous relationship, that when you add a boundary it ends?   Is it possible to create new boundaries in an old relationship and… Continue reading
