According to to the blog a certain Ms. Kit Gruelle, a social worker, was able to track her down. Lisa is now a grown-up woman. But since because of the trauma she experienced during her childhood, she found herself also in an abusive relationship. Good thing, Kit was there to help her out. Lisa was saved from that relationship.

Nowadays, Lisa's firsthand account of what happened during her childhood days, and what it caused her is posted online, She is also attending conferences to help people like her.

Why am I sharing this to you?

Somehow a part of myself is a Lisa also. You will know it in my future entry for my diary why am I telling this.

I realized that through the painful experience we had in the past, we can change someone's life in the future for the best.

Eliza,
