Journey of Life

By C. Angel

I wanted answers as an adult. I was angry, afraid, passive yet yearning to feel whole. So I researched child abuse, conducted in college and through reading: Growing up isn’t easy for any child without having to live with being abused. A child having to live with such an array of psychological problems makes it that much harder. The adults who do survive this ordeal are likely to have a hard time fitting into society.
