Greetings! I am sending out the weekly Friday article and newsletter a day early because as many of you may know I am getting handfasted/married on Saturday. I am going to be very busy tomorrow but I don't want to forget about you all!

Here's the latest article from the Domestic Violence site at BellaOnline.com.

Also known as Somatic Memories, occur frequently in survivors of abuse. These memories can be triggered from physical or sexual abuse at any age.

A male reader who has been writing to me in emails said to me the other day "I am male, I can't participate in your forums." While BellaOnline.com is geared to women readers, men are welcome to participate and give insight on the forums as well! We have several male writers here at BellaOnline! I encourage everyone to come to the forums and talk about the topics that are already there or start one yourself! There are many good discussions going on right now!
