Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From April
by April
I too am a survivor of abuse. I had gone to many different therapists, group therapies and spoken to groups about shedding your blankets of darkness. My biggest help in my self-improvement was a series of life-changing events as I got older. I picked bad marriages and in those I got courage, self determination and a will to survive with each blow I received from them. I am blessed with my beautiful children, whom I love so much. By far the most healing came from writing and opening up to other people. Now this has also bit me in my butt sharing feelings with the wrong people to have them use it against me. But with each hurt, betrayal a new powerful lesson was learned. That I have already survived what I thought was the worst. The words they speak about me is nothing I haven't heard before by others or myself. You can not hit me any harder than I have been hit before. And no one can bring me any lower than the lows I have made myself before either. For in the end all my happiness, love, joy and peace come from me, down deep inside of myself. I have taken back my own power through realization that I had all the power in the first place. I am now in a place that I am truly happy and in love with life. I speak out for not only myself but everyone else. No one can take that from me.
