Hi! Friends,
Information/Awareness about domestic violence & prevention of abuse are in my blogs.
I thought I should say this to begin with so it is clear to anyone seeing my page.
Note: Everyone on my friends list should not be considered a survivor of abuse or living in an abusive situation.
You do not have to be a survivor of abuse or in an abusive situation to add as a friend to this page.
I am here to bring about change in my life and in the world through writing about domestic violence/abuse issues/ and awareness to all that visit this page.
I would appreciate adds from people that are caring and fun, along with survivors and those wanting help at this time.
I love to laugh, listen to good music and make new friends.
I am very concerned about the youth of our world and also the Missing Children of the world so please take a moment to check out the links I have in the T.V. section and see if by some chance you may have seen a person missing or a wanted fugitive and then report to the appropriate authorites.
I am writing blogs of my life story and sharing with you and myself as I go over them while writing it is good therapy.
I will post any stories of abuse in blogs for anyone on this page that would like them posted with or without your name or add to my page and send comments so folks can view your pages.
I am alive and have lived for 50 years and living the way I did in the past, well, that is something to be happy about in itself.
This is not a forum to bash men or anyone but to tell the truth and let others learn from my past experiences. I will not name those in my past and am not using this as a bashing forum only to tell the tale of a sad heart and how it came to be.
I am not a man hater quite the contrary.
I like people that treat others with love and respect.
The names of people I write about will never be posted in a blog.
Today, I am not a victim because I choose not to be, neither do I wallow in self pity, want pity or feel regret for the things that I have lived to me everything in life happens for a reason and not by mistake.
The unhappy experiences that occurred in my life made me a stronger person.
I am a survivor of child abuse and abuse as an adult and for that I am very grateful.
Otherwise, I would not be the person I am today and today, I like and love me and will not anyone or anything to bring me discomfort or interfere with my happiness or serenity.
In blogs I have posted the warning signs of abuse, the cycles of emotional and physical abuse along with questions you can ask yourself to see if you are in an abusive relationship or in the beginning of one.
Many times a potentially physically abusive relationship starts with emotional abuse.
As hard as it is for some people to believe, some victims of domestic emotional and/or physical abuse don’t realize they are in this situation.
Victims of abuse usually have low self-esteem,they believe the abuse is all their fault and they deserve it.
An abuser makes his victim think they are the cause for the emotional or physical abuse.
When all along the abuser knows exactly what they are doing.
The abuser sets up the victim and is planning their next attack.
Sounds frightening doesn't it? Well, it is like walking on egg shells in your own home. No one should ever have to live this way.
Emotional abuse causes these same "walking on egg shell" feelings just like physical abuse and in some ways emotional abuse can be worse.
This page is here for those that are living in emotional and physically situations.
It is also for anyone that wishes to join and is a caring person.
I want to add blogs that will be informative and helpful to others and am doing research on the subject of determining dangerous men/women and the types to advoid in relationships.
Subjects that can help us all to advoid ending up in an abusive life style. This is also your page, any recommendations for it will be taken in consideration so just send me a message.
This page is here to share your stories if you feel you need to get it out and not hold in your feelings to get it out of your head.
I do believe that professional couseling is helpful if you get a good one and you're honest when you talk with them.
I feel that talking about it heals our spirits and what better place than on MySpace where no one really knows your real name or who you are, unless you tell them.
I have been told that "You are only as sick as your secrets."
I wanted to write about my life and post it in blogs and I thought what better way to let all the old trash playing tapes out of my head.
It is better now, the "old tape playing" and seems to occur only when I pull them up myself if needed to share with someone speaking or writing and sometimes if I see something that reminds me of it and sometimes that is a good thing for it reminds me not to let me get myself in that situation again.
Please feel free to message me if you need someone to listen or if you want to share your survival stories or feelings if you are living in this and may help them to get the courage to leave.
If you request it I will repost your stories here
I am not a trained counselor but have been around and will try to post subject matter I feel is important to help others.
To live throught this lifestyle and survive has purpose and I know it always helps me to help others, and would appreciate any links you deem helpful and your stories.
I believe, that nothing in this world happens by mistake, there is a reason for everything we live in and through. Of course one of them is to be stronger. All events, troubles, and trials, will all makes sense in the big picture, the scheme of life.
Remember: It is not your fault!
I wish you peace in your life,
Tale of Sad Heart
