Thanks for commenting, Stephanie. It is a journey worth taking, and addressing and feeling the pain is worth it. Joy is wonderful. You’ll have room for it in time.

Your story gives me hope and I’m so glad you had the flute to carry you through to the good times. I am just starting therapy, and my child side still feels really raw. Thanks for writing your story.
