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.

i am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse, and abandonment. trying to make it. crying, laughing, living through my days. trying to matter. a mom, myself; trying not to continue the vicious cycle of abuse. try, try, try. it stops here.

"We must take seriously our responsibility to reach out in love to those among us who may be lonely or unhappy—who are struggling with problems or temptations. They will find friends somewhere; they will find comfort somewhere. What is our failure if they find it elsewhere because we were not there, were not welcoming?
'I needed you—I couldn't find you—I don't need you anymore.'
We must not let this happen if there is any way for us to be there when we are needed."
- Joy F. Evans, "Lord, When Saw We Thee an Hungred?", Ensign (CR), May 1989, p.73
******* Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, "over steep ways to the stars," fulfills itself. ******** - W. C. Doane
it's about time
Someone Reads Me
on marriage
'Will you, um, marry me?' I haven't seen you in weeks! You don't look happy or excited about the prospect of our marriage! You're asking me to give up my - my freedom, my joie de vivre for an institution that fails as often as it succeeds? And why should I marry you anyway? I mean, why do you wanna marry me? Besides some bourgeois desire to fulfill an ideal that society embeds in us from an early age to promote a consumer capitalist agenda?
