I have considered creating a blog for some time now, but have never felt that I could truly put my life experiences in writing for everyone else to read. Until I realized that my life expriences could mean the world to someone else and could help them deal with what they are going through. I am hoping that by my creating this blog, I can shed some light to many woman, teen girls and young ladies, that there is a chance for them.
I have been through many heartaches, heart breaks, loves, losses, and honestly torture in my years of growing up. I was forced to grow up way too fast, to be a mother to my little sister at the age of 12, watched the beatings that my mother put herself through, alcoholism and drugs, and the many boyfriends in and out of her life.
This was my everyday life growing up, so this is what I knew! Unfortunately, that lead me down a long, hard road of a lot of lessons that lead me to where I ended up until 8 years ago. I've done many things that I am ashamed of, regret, wish I could change...but can't.
I was almost dead, I nearly had the life beat out of me by a man that I called my husband, the man who said that he loved me. I dealt with the abuse for years, until I finally realized I was a stronger woman than he thought and that all I needed was the support to help get myelf out of the situation.
Eight years ago, the man of my dreams finally walked into mine and my childrens lives and took me down the right path. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for my family.
It has taken me many, many years to get over what I have gone through during my childhood, and my early adult years. I have held a lot of thoughts and feelings inside afraid to let them out, or to let anyone else know what I was feeling. It causes a great deal of anger. Don't let that be you, Speak Up and Be Heard! I hope that my experiences will help lead you in the right direction.
