Keywords: updates , abuse , alone , ashamed , brokenness , damage , depression , emptiness , hopelessness , isolation , pain , rejection , shame

I sat, unspeaking, as he reproached me for being emotional, though, at least in this instance, is was not true.  And it felt as if he had driven a dagger deep into my heart.
