http://survivorthriver.blogspot.com/2012/10/chchchchanges.html
Friday, October 19, 2012. Quick interlude on my parents - things went well with them at the wedding. We were pleasantly surprised that they took the time and resources to come to my mother-in-law's funeral. My father said "you're both our kids, we love you and you need us." Oh how things have changed. Our summer was also filled with moving J from his apartment to the house I have rented for a number of years, dealing with some of his mom's stuff and very busy work lives. Your sister thriver ,.

Leah's Life: Beautiful Surprise a Year Ago
http://survivorthriver.blogspot.com/2011/08/beautiful-surprise-year-ago.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Beautiful Surprise a Year Ago. I couldn't have imagined some of the things that happened during this past year. I had not a clue they were coming. Not a hint. Little did I know that when I sat down at that table that a friendship would start that would blossom into a relationship and into being head over heals in love. Now I can't imagine my life without DL (is it too sappy to call him DL for dear love? I pray that the year to come is filled with strength, hope, love, courage,...

Monday, February 28, 2011. Mom - A Complicated Word.Complicated Relationship.A Request for Advice. Things are more complicated when I think about my mother. Why? When they were at the house). So, the part of me that knows that she is a victim, that she is depressed and that she too is stuck feels sorry for her. How can I blame her? Yet, I'm her little girl and she didn't protect me. How could she not protect her little girl? So thus it is complicated. If your situation is similar how do you handle it?

Saturday, March 12, 2011. Who was it that said "joy cometh in the morning? These days I feel like a new person and that a new day has dawned.

Leah's Life: My Body, Myself - Fear, Healing and Body Image
http://survivorthriver.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-body-myself-fear-healing-and-body.html
Sunday, August 01, 2010. My Body, Myself - Fear, Healing and Body Image. As a survivor, I've often felt uncomfortable in my skin. Some reading I did earlier in my healing journey helped me understand that this is partly because my father's abuse began before I had an understanding of where my body began and ended (the abuse began around 2). I've heard that many survivors face this issue, regardless of the timing of the abuse. Important caveat - - - I do NOT believe that thinner is better. If you are ...

Leah's Life: Excited to celebrate the renewal of the Torah and myself
http://survivorthriver.blogspot.com/2010/05/excited-to-celebrate-renewal-of-torah.html
Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Excited to celebrate the renewal of the Torah and myself. If you celebrate I hope that your observance is filled with joy, growth and hope. Elizabeth @ If She Cry Out. I wish I had read this before Shavuot. I so like the idea of Shavuot being the scrolls of Torah and the scrolls of our life. As regards healing, I think they are reciprocal. Healing happens when we can see our lives in the words of Torah and Gods words of Torah in our lives. 8:41 AM, May 20, 2010. Male Life After Rape.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Need Your Advice as I Plan My Wedding. The wedding planning has begun. We have a date, location, officiants and have begun many of the other items on the "to do" list. When we told my parents, they were supportive and excited for us. I wasn't completely surprised because our communication has been better, more respectful and more patient lately. Not all smooth sailing (what parent relationship is even before factoring abusiveness), but not a nightmare either. Maybe you could h...
