I was led to this book. I have a child who has self harmed but I never have in a physical way. I am trans though and have had to deal with family and church rejection. My self harm is thinking I don’t belong or that I am accepted. I mentally cut myself everyday and those cuts go deep. I am learning to be myself no matter what others say or do to me. When you can’t change yourself you either learn to accept yourself or you go down a dark path. I call myself a dark Angel because I’m beautifully broken and I am in the dark. The only one who sees me are the ones who accept me and the ones I help. I felt God wanted me to read this book. I went to Target and the Spirit said today you will buy a book and this was the first one I saw. I since can’t put it down! It is a hard read but I need to read it. Thank you Kathleen!
