...why anyone would think I am brave or courageous for writing about what I have been through.
I certainly don't feel that way.
Writing about my past actually scares me to death, but I know if I don't write about it from time to time, I have done nothing to help prevent it from happening to someone else. I have done nothing to help someone else who is currently being abused. I have done NOTHING... and I absolutely cannot bear that.
It would be like letting everyone who ever abused me win. And I'll be damned if I let that happen!
So, I sometimes write about being physically and emotionally abused by my step-father. And I write about being sexually and emotionally abused by my maternal grandfather. Not because I'm brave... not because I enjoy remembering it (God forbid!), but because if I remain silent... I contribute to the perpetuation of the abuse to others.
I thank everyone who said such wonderful things in response to my blog post... but I'm no more brave or special than anyone else.
I just want all the pain to end for EVERYONE.
All my love to all of you, my amazing friends and family! I couldn't have become the person I am without you!
God bless you all! |

being brave and courageous comes from facing your fears, whether it's blogging or standing up for your rights. You have the mind of an adult now, not a child's mind. You trusted people who took advantage of a young spirit. Believe me, writing about it is brave. It is a way of healing. If you keep it contained you could blow up! So many people become the monster that their abusers were. Thank you for stopping a cycle of abuse and speaking about it for others. You are a hero!
