So last night we had some drama here at the home-front..... Just stuff with kids, but wow, it HAD to be addressed.... and while I was doing something, I shared with my daughters how and why I finally got the courage to leave home, at just turned 17, I should have been worrying about high school, boys, a part time job, acne.....but instead, my teenage life was not ideal!
I can say, not just "well, considering her mom, or anything with my mom in it", cuz everything I've done and worked for have been to be different from her. 20 years later, I can finally say what happened to me, and I am glad God chose me and WE (God and me, in that order), have broken the cycle! Thank you Lord for making me not a better mom, a completely different one, for changing me from the inside out, for helping me to use what should have destroyed me, to making me stronger and for what ever reason, You chose me to break the cycle!! And you NEVER give up on me or my girls... You hold our little family in the palm of Your hand and NEVER let go!!!
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!!
