childhood abuse survivor: holiday time

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!!

holiday time

So the holidays are upon us and it can be horrible at times!!! The bright light, the big blow up Christmas decorations, the music, the commercials, all the stuff that inevitably comes with the holidays and Christmas, well, can be too much at times. I feel like the lights are visually screaming at me.... AHHH!!!! I will be so glad when they are done. Even for the safety on the road as think about it; all those Christmas lights and decorations, they are distractions when driving!!! Something to think about.... Careful driving and making it through.... And keep the positive for the kids and keep trying to see all the glitter, bling, joy, and holiday spirit through their eyes, with God's help, and it will be a blessed Christmas, not cuz of monetary, but cuz of my girls!!!
