I'm watching the news about the finding of Jaycee Dugard in California. I'm trying to imagine how she must be feeling. What damage must have been done to this woman over the past 18 years. How she will try to rebuild her life, come to terms with what has happened. What kind of emotional and mental health damage she will have suffered.
Something like this makes me feel very humble. What I have gone through is like a pin prick compared to what this young woman has suffered. I have moaned to myself that I lost 7 years of my life at the hands of an N, but at the end of the day I did have the freedom to walk away. Jaycee has been a captive for 18 years and forced to give birth twice at the hands of the monster that abducted her. As the story unfolds in the news I am sure we will all be shocked by the inhumanities inflicted on her and her children.
I can only pray for their recovery, and that of her family.
