Ditto

 How many times have you heard the same story from yet another woman. We can just list all the events A-Z and say:

"I experienced A-G, L, M, R-T, and Z".

Just got off the phone with an old friend who worked in Health and Welfare, she heard case after case, the same old stories and experiences every day.

She heard it from Members of her Church.

She heard it from members of other churches.

She heard it from members of no church.

She heard it from politician's wives.

She heard it from preacher's wives.

She heard it from the rich.

She heard it from the poor.

She heard it from Phds.

She heard it from drop outs.

I asked her who she didn't hear it from. Silence.

Our stories are old. Sadly our stories are common. We are not alone. 

The belief that we are the only one who experiences theses things, that we are alone can destroy us.

We can support each other. We can overcome these.
