Well, I guess if you are 120 and you have a terminal brain tumor it might be alright. But I have a feeling that's not the case!

I suffered mightily at the hands of adults when I was a child- violence, sexual abuse, emotional abuse. It busted me up pretty bad and I didn't start recovering until I was 30 years old. After that it took me another 8 years to fully recover. But I am here now and I am happy and I am building a great life for myself, my wife, and hopefully a child.

I just want you to know that it's possible for life to get better. But you might have to go into all of that pain first to get there. A good therapist can be very helpful.
