I guess you could say I grew up living a sheltered life. I was fortunate to be brought up in a household where abuse was an unknown word and home meant "safe". And in some ways I know that I will never have to worry about this sort of thing, even though my neighbourhood is full of bad things - sometimes my neighbours create their own version of "once were warriors".

It's hard to watch people going through this, especially standing on the outside. In some ways you wish you could show everyone that life doesn't have to be so full of crap, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Sometimes no matter how much you try or how much you want to help someone else, nothing seems to work. All you can do is pray and hope for a miracle.

In some ways it's amazing to hear stories like these, I find it hard to comprehend that people can survive this way. I'll never truly understand or experience situtations like this, but that's something I'm extremely grateful for.
