Unshackled

No child should have to grow up and become an adult and still be tortured by the trauma of their past. For years, even into my adulthood, I was constantly dealing with my past--the hurt, the dysfunction, the shame, the embarrassment, the rejection, and the fear that plagued me, fueling the anger and sometimes violent behavior toward people who genuinely loved me. It was like being in prison--I was shackled.
