This page is dedicated to all the survivors of abuse. Everyday, watching the news, we see the evidence of children being scarred for life. How do we, as survivors, fully survive? I found it through forgivness of those who had hurt me. My Parents. I forgave them and I survived. It was through God's grace and love that I was able to do this. I would not destroy my own self by being angry at what they had done to me. I wanted to be a good mother and wife and bitterness and anger kept me from it. I thank God everyday that He saved me not only from them, but from myself. I pray for others like me and hope that somehow, my story will help others come full circle and forgive those who have hurt them the most. I have survived sexual, emotional, verbal, physical, and mental abuse....but I'm still here. Happy and healthy. I hope to help all those who wish to forgive and be happy and healthy with me!!!!1

My Interests

I have just recently been hit with the reality that I am a survivor....growing up in my family was not easy. When faced with my sexual abuse by my family, I was told that I seduced my dad into doing what he did. I guess for a long time, I believed it. But through therapy and lots of prayer, I realized that it wasn't my fault. I had to stand alone against my entire family. It was hard and I was so angry. My mother and I didn't get along when I was a child and so there was a lot of verbal abuse and mental abuse as well. I remember standing in front of the medicine cabinet in the bathroom wondering what I could take to make me fall asleep forever. Just to stop the pain.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet many others who have been abused and find out their personal stories of survival.

Music:

My therapist played this song for me while I was in her office one day. It inspired me. Brought me to tears. I had no dignity....I hated the world and I hated God for bringing me into it......

Movies:

I remember praying and asking God to please just wrap his arms around me so that I could feel it. Many years later, crying alone in my bed, He did just that.

Television:

God gave me the strength to forgive my parents for all that they had put me through, but it took years. I just didn't want to be angry and bitter for the rest of my life. He healed me. I hope others reading this can realize, you won't forget what happend to you because you can't...But God is AMAZING!!!!! He can heal you. He wants to heal you. I pray for you in this quest.

Books:

The Holy Bible is where you will get your strength and encouragement. I especially like the part where Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins. He forgave......we can forgive and make this world a better place through love.

When to call it "quits"

I wish I knew when it was time to call it quits. When people let you down or hurt you, it should be easy to walk away...but for me, it's not. I want to take a moment to set the record straight for my ...
