I'm remembering mine. And it doesn't leave. But it doesn't have to control me anymore.” - Jamey“One of the byproducts of trauma that you've experienced (not an excuse) is boundary issues. 30% of all men who have been abused become abusers.” - Justin“Even in moments of weakness, you need to be able to discern and and recognize…you can't just blame a moment of weakness for why you got in your car when you were drunk and you crashed into somebody and hurt them.” - Drake“As a woman I feel safe when men are acknowledging their mistakes, not when they are minimizing.” - LizABOUT DRAKE BELLDrake Bell is a 37-year-old American actor and musician from Newport Beach, CA.
