No, I don't mind telling you my age. I am 36. If you wish, show her my posts. I have been walking down this path of healing for 10 years. It's Hellish, but it really helps to have support like she is getting from you and others. Some days, crying is all I could do.
I use to feel that I was an ugly child, but it was only the uglines I felt within myself that I reflected on those pictures from childhood. Now, I see a child in those pictures who was in isolation and tremendous pain.
There is no such thing as an ugly child. If a child act in bad ways, it is only because someone taught them mean ways. We all come in this world with innocence. We don't come in this world hating ourselves either. Again, someone taught us that. As adults, we have to teach ourselves the truth.
One who is walking the same path,
