Thank you. Living my early life gave me many gifts too.

resilience
compassion
empathy
ability to read people
imagination

It wasn't all bad, it just came at random times and at no predictable intervals - living with the constant fear- that's what made it bad. My poor brother bearing the brunt of the physical made it much harder for him, although mental/verbal abuse is just as bad.

And that little mouse loves you right back! ☺🐁🐭💜✌
