I finally figured out today that one reason that CSA is SO incredible hard on us parents is that we have to help and be strong while we are still trying to heal also. Figured this out while trying to help my CSA son deal with normal teenage stuff (that is magnified 110 times by his CSA) and it hit me that I just didn't have the emotional energy to heal him AND me!!! Dag gone, no wonder we are so stressed and exhausted!!! So, try, try, try to take care of yourself and do something nice for yourself when ever you can. (And that means ALL of you/us, not just Gina!!!)
School starts tomorrow for me.....I'm not ready AT ALL!
