I'm a fighter. Childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse caused Complex, Chronic PTSD in my late twenties. I also have Bipolar Disorder, Dissociative Disorder, and ADHD. As grim as it might sound, I'm actually doing well. I have a little gem of a girl and I write write write--my passion. I'm also in school to be a CNA. Main thing I've learned so far? You have to go into the dark in order to see the light, that's where you will find your grace.
