childhood abuse survivor: supposed to....

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!!

supposed to....

I was supposed to graduate high school is 94, but when I was starting my junior year, I should have been worrying about SATS, and credits, and prom, and..... but no, my life at home was more than turmoil, it had become dangerous. So I got out! Just turned 17, and my mom was at work and I moved into my first tiny little apt. it was small, but it was mine.... and instead of going to high school, I got my GED, in 93, and did lots and lots of counseling! I used to regret not getting my high school diploma, but now, 20 years later, I can look back and know that it's ok.... I made it out, and with the help of God and my wonderful daughters, broke the cycle and doing things differently!! And knowing what I know now, I am so blessed to be where I am today! Thank you Lord for NEVER giving up on me and helping me through EVERYTHING!!!
