Kevin Hughes is the author of "SocioMom: My Story of Terror, Truth and Triumph.".

Kevin grew up in a house of secrets, silence, and unspeakable abuse. Behind closed doors, his sociopathic mother wielded control with cruelty, manipulation, and terror, masking it all with charm to the outside world. For decades, Kevin buried the trauma deep inside, dissociating from his own memories and pain. It wasn't until a triggering incident in his late 40s that he began to confront his childhood and seek help.

Kevin discusses the process of opening up memories and emotions that he had kept buried for decades. If there is a corollary to this story, it is that healing is always possible. It is a story that illustrates no matter what has happened in your life, you can not only overcome your wounds, but you can learn to live again.

Dana Diaz's experiences with emotional and physical abuse shaped her understanding of self-worth and, later, the importance of setting boundaries.

Dana examines her personal connection between emotional well-being and physical health. After years of living with constant stress and illness, she left her narcissistic husband and started to rebuild her life. And with the removal of that stress, her health quickly improved.

Which is food for thought for all of us.

Dana's story is a reminder that it is never too late to start over. It's never too late to step up to the plate and design our own lives. And it's never too late to find health and happiness.
