broken by his bruises
Having opened a wound I didn't think needed so much healing, I am still sore.
Don't read me wrong.
I don't believe that I will truly become my mother.
I know I won't hurt my children the way she did us.
I won't ever allow someone else to abuse them the way we were.
I know this.
My tears, the shedding of my past. The loss of innocence at such a young and tender age.
Nine years old. The beginning of him touching me, gently.
Yet a touch that RIPPED my world apart.
A touch that I can never enjoy. My body is conditioned. It is ruined.
broken by his bruises
who I was, who I am, who I plan to be...
i am trying to heal from severe childhood sexual, emotional,
physical, and mental abuse; and abandonment.
this is my story.
i have good and bad days, and some days the odds seem insurmountable.
i cling to the hope that healing will come to mend the shatter pieces of my heart, mind and body.
mile 191, well, you will understand as you read along.
mile 191, portions of my past have a link on the top right.
mile 191, bottoms up. hears to you and to me.
please, if you know me, just let me know you found me. i need honesty. (and please do not use personal names)
if you want to follow my story, please try to heal with me.
if you want to share with me, please do.
i will post bits of my pain as i can, and leave it here.
i once thought that i would publish...i haven't had the courage.
this is my closet, you are welcome to come in.
just know this is my refuge, healing takes place here,
maybe it will be a refuge to you too.
Quotes from Suvivors United - Standing Strong Together Against Abuse
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
Helen Keller
Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.

When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard, ' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'

Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Can relate totally, his ever so gently touch - at the begin. I was 7, my mother knew and still let it happened. I am not capable of holding any kind of meaningful relation. I am glad you have a husband being on your side.
Ditto.
