I am so grateful that it is me though and not my daughters. When I read stories like your own, I immediately feel a sense of panic thinking "this could be one of my daughters". You are an amazing, intelligent, strong, determined young woman (like my daughters). As a very proud mother, I applaud you for such a beautiful post. May your life journey be full of happiness. You are definately in the right profession to assist others. Take care of yourself in the process. XLeonie
