Best Day in the Life:
(a letter from a client to her young son) For my little cowboy, I am writing you this letter to read when you are older and can understand what I want to share with you. There are many difficult events that have occurred in our life this year. Some you will remember, some you won’t. I want you to have this letter so you will remember not only the bad, but also the good that has come out of the chaos. We have been very blessed this year, so many people have come into our life that have changed it for the better. The women at the safehouse, Kathy, Olga, Julie, Carole, Janet and last but not least Aki the ever faithful catch companion. Every single one of these women have shone a light that will burn in our hearts forever. They have done everything humanly possible to see that we continue our journey toward a happy, healthy, and safe life. From providing us shelter, to being our taxi service. But most of all, being there to help keep me grounded, when I felt too overwhelmed to go on. I never want you to forget these women, not only for what they have done, but for who they are. They have shown us what healthy relationships are based on. Unconditional support, love, and friendship. These women have done these things expecting nothing in return, only to help us be healthy and safe. Our journey toward learning what healthy looks and feels like has only just begun. It will be a journey that we take for a lifetime. Being healthy in a relationship is something that we all work on everyday. At this moment the only piece of relationship advice I can give you is to know your boundaries, know your partners boundaries and always respect them both. Forever my love, Mommy
