Childhood Abuse Survivor

I have hit some magical age where my childhood abuse has caught up with me.... but I will not let it win, and will fight and know that God will see me through just as He always has.... my goal in this blog is to share with others and to vent as well about the experiences of childhood abuse, not just the physical abuse, but the emotional as well. The old saying about sticks and stones break bones but words can never hurt.... they couldn't be farther from the truth!!

I have two wonderful daughters and am blessed that God chose me to "break the cycle" and above all, they know that I love them with all my heart and they are great girls!!! Right now though, I just need to make some peace with my past.... (and if you met my mother, you'd understand... hahaha). I know that know matter where I am at in my journey though, that God is ALWAYS with me!!

from facebook

Sometimes families have hurt us so much and so bad, we do feel this way. I know for me, I had an "absantee father", still do, even tho he knows me and even proclaimed to want to be a dad (that was when I was an adult and he called me about it), but in the end, just like when I was a teen, just like when I became a new young mom without a mom of my own..... I remember all the tears I cried over him, and in order for me to heal, I had to "let him go", not out of anger, but to protect myself and my heart from getting hurt over and over and over.....

*I wrote this with a pic on Facebook that said "someday you'll cry for me like I cried for you. Someday you'll miss me like I missed you. Someday you'll need me like I needed you. Someday you'll love me, but I won't love you.
