An Explanation of My Picture and Title

This picture was painted by Samuel Bak.  He is a survivor of the Holocaust.  It is titled "Interruption".  Probably because the evil he lived through as a child "interrupted" his childhood.  I am a survivor of childhood abuse.  Thus, I chose the title of my blog and the profile picture because my childhood was also "interrupted" by an evil.  I feel a deep connection to survivors.
