Wow. Tears...I have been bullied, and also on the receiving end of a lot of abuse, starting in my home as a kid where I should have been safe but wasn't. Then in my marriages. If only the perpetrators of my abuse had any sort of heart about them. It's so good that you had a chance to put things right with Shelly, and to help her through a tough time. Interesting how the universe works. Thank you for sharing your story!
