childhood abuse survivor: a weird connection

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!!

a weird connection

ok, so I had an emotional moment tonight.... glad my doc has me on valium.... i am calmed and gonna be ok..... but CRAZY thing, my mom, she had nightmares of monsters and such (she wrote "her story") and I found an old poem of mine and it is so similiar with shadows and monsters..... I know she never wanted me to have her pain, but I did.... and I have to forgive, can't have a relationship with her, but I can forgive with the compassion of another that was abused! What a weird connection for me to share with her to aid in my understanding and compassion......
