A Message From One Who Has Been There...
created @ 2008-03-29 06:14:01

Please Watch The First Video PLEASE!!

If you CAN watch the rest of these videos and would like to, you can add these to your stash/blogs by clicking on MENU then copying the embed code and paste where desired.

You know people have all heard it before...
"I came from an abusive home"
"My mom/dad use to beat the living hell out of me..."
"I was sexually abused, when I was a kid, by my..."

Yes, we all heard it.. a lot have experienced it and lived to tell about it. I read all the comments how hurt and angry people are when they see a baby being murdered, or when a child is found dead. My question is...

How many knew there was a problem before and did nothing because they did not want to get involved? How many have seen the warning signs?

People didn't want to get involved when they seen me and my two brothers being abused. They thought that we were old enough to go to the police for help. We had lived through this for years & never thought anyone would believe us... would help us. We were too scared. Scared of my mother.
It took a lot to finally stand up and stop it. It was when my mother pounded my head into edge of the wall over 60 times. I thought she was gonna kill me. It scared me when my friends seen the bruises the next day and that week. I was so busy trying to hide away. I was 18 year old. My friends had enough... it was them that gathered around and gave me the strength...
A week after, my brothers and I were out of the house.

You want to know what was the sad thing?
I lived in a small community where everyone knew everyone and people would come up to me and say how they were proud of us for leaving home and that they KNEW THAT WE WERE BEING ABUSED .. that they heard my mom yelling at us 2 & 3 blocks away from the house we lived in. They could hear her as she beat us. My mother broke her hand twice - while beating my brothers. Once while hitting one brother with an atlas and the other time while hitting my other brother with a broom (while her hand while still in the cast from the first break). She told the doctor at the hospital, she tripped down the stairs.

Oh, by the way, my mother was a Sunday school teacher and was a play school teacher at the time in an elementary school.

.... Please!

Please help a child if you KNOW they are being abused. Help give them the strength they need.
My brothers and I slipped through the cracks of different agencies that were meant to help us... but we are alive and are not continuing the cycle of abuse.

Educate & Advocate Against Child Abuse!

Get Involved!!

This is the link to another blog I put in here a while ago...

This picture I drew when I was thinking about my past and the abuse. My cam didn't do a great job taking a pic of it... but here it is.

To Me this picture is about the past.

(My interpretation of the picture top to bottom)
A knife - trust broken
A face - scars - some visible.. most not
Footsteps (the dots) - searching.. looking.. seeking
Wings - Wanting to fly away - get away. Help just out of reach
Paths leading different ways - scared to take a chance. Not sure who to trust but throughout it all there was people there watching.
I found them then got help. Now healing and trying to trust again...

The Hook.. I am hooked on life.. I have a reason to live.. to fight.
My son.
Every day I look at him and smile. He is the answer to my prayers. The joy in my heart. I stopped the cycle of abuse. It can be stopped. And I have forgiven. I just want to forget and have the nightmares stop now.
