I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.
When someone was hitting me, or like sexually molesting me, it just seemed normal to continue to do that to myself.
The more love I craved, the more distant and abusive he grew. The role I longed to play was never written into Ryan's script: daughter.
I have a temper, but I wouldn't call me abusive.
I think all of us feel like we're a bit on show, all the time.
I've overcome neglect and deprivation, abandonment and abuse.
