Writing the series of Buddhist articles have been done with Gratitude, my teachers helped me learn how to take care of myself and stop being a victim. After struggling with PTSD from an abusive childhood and first marriage I was a wreck. My teachers helped me put myself together, and now I am functioning better than I ever would have if I hadn't been abused. In a way the abuse I suffered lead me to find freedom from the conditioning all use humans have to live through. This is my thank you and I am glad you enjoy my post @enjoywithtroy.
