Dear sona:

You are welcome. I appreciate your thankfulness and you can stop thanking me for the next ten posts.

I am glad you felt relief talking openly. And I think it is a good choice to have cancelled the next session.

Unfortunately, it is natural for a child to take responsibility for what the child is in no way responsible for, to take the badness of those who abuse and neglect the child. Take on the badness and feel ashamed. It is very common, this is what children do when abused and neglected, emotionally if not physically.

Whatever it is you want to share here, whatever you feel ashamed about, the past, you can share. If you would like, and let me know, I can share with you things parallel or similar so you don’t feel alone in the sharing. I too believed I was bad and shame was very strong in me, so I have a whole lot of material to share. Only I will share just a bit, if it will make you feel comfortable.

So type and type if you want, if you think it can help. I will pay attention and I will not hurt you.
