About Me

SOME BELIEVE THAT MUSIC IS A POWERFUL SOURCE THAT CAN HELP ONE THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES OR EVEN CHANGE THEIR LIVES......OTHERS AREN'T BELIEVERS........I'M A BELIEVER!! I AM A RECOVERING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIM. I SPENT MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE (approx. 25 yrs) IN A PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY & EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. I WAS CONTROLLED IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, AND BEATEN FOR NO REASON AT ALL. SOME TIMES I'D FIND A KNIFE TO MY THROAT, OTHER TIMES, A GUN TO MY HEAD. I WAS TOLD I WAS NOTHING MORE THAN THE DIRT ON THE GROUND, THAT MY ABUSER WALKED ON. IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR ME TO BEGIN BELIEVING WHAT HE SAID. I WASN'T LIVING, JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS OF EVERYDAY LIFE. MY SELF-ESTEEM HAD HIT ROCK BOTTOM, I HAD NO FRIENDS, AND I WAS FORCED TO KEEP MY ABUSE FROM MY FAMILY. AT TIMES I WISHED MY ABUSER WOULD JUST END MY LIFE, OTHER TIMES I CONSIDERED TAKING MY OWN LIFE (as I felt that this was my only way to be free of the abuse and my 3 children to be safe). MANY ASK, "WHY DID YOU STAY?", THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, "FEAR!". THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ABUSE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ONE GOES THROUGH. I HAD NO ONE TO TALK TO (and if I had, I would have gotten beat that much more), SO MUSIC BECAME EVERYTHING TO ME. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T KNOW THIS OR THAT ARTIST PERSONALLY, THEIR MUSIC TOLD OF MY LIFE. IN MUSIC I FOUND (and still find) COMFORT, STRENGTH & ENCOURAGEMENT. TODAY, IT IS ONE DAY AT A TIME. I WILL NEVER BE THE PERSON I ONCE WAS (before all the abuse). I KNOW NOW THAT HIS ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR WAS NOT MY FAULT, BUT I'M NOT SURE I CAN EVER COMPLETELY FORGIVE, AND I WILL NEVER FORGET!!! "FORGIVING MYSELF" IS THE HARDEST THING! (forgiving myself for allowing someone to abuse me like they did). NO ONE DESERVES TO BE ABUSED!!!!!!!!......................."FORGIVE, SOUNDS GOOD....FORGET, I'M NOT SURE I COULD....THEY SAY TIME HEALS EVERYTHING....BUT I'M STILL WAITING!!!""SOMEONE RAN AWAY WITH HER INNOCENCE A MEMORY SHE CAN'T GET OUT OF HER HEAD I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT SHE'S FEELING WHEN SHE'S PRAYING KNEELING AT THE EDGE OF HER BED.... AND SHE SAYS TAKE ME AWAY AND TAKE ME FARTHER SURROUND ME NOW AND HOLD, HOLD, HOLD ME LIKE HOLY WATER, LIKE HOLY WATER". ~big$rich~

Why do the children always have to pay for their parents immaturity?!?

Why is it that the children always pay for their parents immaturity? It just seems so unfair. Their parents need to grow up and act like they are the adults, instead of expecting the children to be ad...
