Episode Highlight:
22:33 - In your personal story, do you forgive the man, the person, man, woman, or whoever it was who abused you? And that would depend, it seems to me, on if forgiveness means that you are no longer boiling with rage, no longer affected deeply, emotionally by the abuse.
35:17 - I put something about this on Facebook. All I said was I was abused by my dad. Abuse, violent sexual assault in babyhood. And that swingeing email, not surprising understandably, from my sister-in-law saying, "How dare you say all this? Couldn't possibly be true. You're deranged. You've made it up." And she said, "I know that memories don't start until you're three years old." Not true, if you do your research. Okay? So, anyway, I'm proof of it.
45:37 - What I'm most grateful for is the fact that you take your experience, this journey of life, like I'd like to say, I turned my mess, it was a messy situation, into a message. I was tested so many times. Also wanted to commit suicide. Thank God I didn't and that I'm able to live life to the best of my ability, to be a better version of myself. I'm growing and learning everyday and I'm just grateful to have support.
