Desperately Healed...My Journey to Wholeness

Surviving the kind of oppressive poverty, neglect and terrifying abuse Robert Day suffered as a child implores the question asked by so many: “How did you get out … how did you find healing?” Childhood trauma leaves an intensely painful wound on the adult, long after the child is grown. In this, his second of a three-part series, Robert shares the emotions, mistakes and often excruciating steps necessary to find, and eventually embrace, that place of “wholeness.”
