You brought up something that was so standard in the family. I am tall and I remember many leadership that would belittle me because of my height, shoe size, anything they could to make me feel less about myself. I guess I was just used to it. Being only barely 18 when I joined, I had just gotten out of my family of origin where similar slights were common i.e. "slut, bitch" etc. as a kid. It is wonderful (instead of wounderfull) to hear building up posts. I am a strong woman now. I loved the movie "Intensity" based on the Dean Koontz book. I could relate alot to "China Shephard" She was strong, her wounds hurt her, but also she was strong after them. We are all strong who have survived this. And we all deserve support. Thanks
