In about an hour I am going to take a walk with my brother who abused me in childhood into teen years. I have decided that besides for his bad health heart-wise, that it may help me overcome my PTSD if I can be with him and feel in control. All my work in program has brought me to this point of strength and confidence that I can do this, it is my choice, and I can leave any time I wish. I have asked HP to walk inbetween us, Lyne
(((Lyne))) - love your courage and the invite of HP...sending you positive thoughts, energy and prayers for a healing outcome!

Thanks MIP family for your support and encouragement. I spent an hour and a half with him, am detached with care for his physical well-being due to his recent major heart surgery, and his birthday is in November and I will plan to take another walk with him at that time. Love you guys, Lyne :)
