And I'm grateful that you and your colleagues continue to do that work. Sometimes it seems like we have so far to go until people are safe when receiving services. But we will never get there if no one does this work.<br /><br />ColleenColleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-17438750231936646492015-10-16T11:10:30.633-04:002015-10-16T11:10:30.633-04:00I understand completely.

It's not self pity, it's the very real acknowledgement of what it is like to 'see' how abuse happens and struggle to create systems that promote safety. That's hard to do, as evidenced by the ways that most people just refuse to admit the horrific misuse of power that is involved in abuse, or insist that the events were 'misinterpreted' or 'blown out of proportion.'<br />Thanks and praise to all on the panel who are working to make this huge cultural shift, and to all the conference attendees. <br />You do hard work, Dave. It's human to be tired. and Mother Nature can be very restorative. clairesmumnoreply@blogger.com
