Welcome!

Abuse - any kind - is a problem which does not discriminate. There are different kinds of abuse - physical, sexual, domestic, verbal, emotional, psychological - and they all leave invisible scars.  I have personally experienced abuse - sexual, psychological, verbal/emotional & domestic...
 
...but I am NOT a "victim"!

My goal is not only to heal and to grow from my own experiences, but to help in my own small way in preventing abuse, helping others to recognize abuse, or at least to acknowledge and to cope with abusive situations.

I will post examples of different kinds of abuse on their respective pages as I identify or come across them. Many of these examples will be from my own experiences; some will be from others who are or have been in abusive relationships. Where possible, the examples will be converted into the first person narrative. I will only include examples where I am certain that identities will be protected in the process.
 

you are NOT alone
 
DOMESTIC ABUSE:
Does he tell you he loves you when he's hitting you?

The weblog page is an online journal in which I will attempt to document the progress (or lack thereof) of my healing process. 
 
Thanks for visiting. Please feel free to look around and to sign the guestbook!

A word of caution: Please note that there is potentially disturbing information for some visitors here, especially for those who have experienced abuse themselves. If anything on this site becomes overhwelming - stop, step back and take a break. Come back only if you want to and when you are feeling better.

A Note to Visitors and Readers...

Thank you for your continued and sincere interest in and comments for me and for this site.

I am sorry I have not been more attentive to my blog entries and to your inquiries and comments. I can only ask for your patience and understanding, since the process of healing can be a bumpy and scary road. That being said, I wish for those who have (1) shown interest in updates, (2) written comments in the Guestbook or (3) both, to know that I have not forgotten about you. I keep every email address that has come to me thru the update request form and in the guestbook entries, and I value all of them. I will do my best to keep (catch-) up with your requests and comments.

Thanks again for visiting. May we all find the strength and faith to keep looking towards the light, and, if we can't see the light, then to keep looking for it, because it is there...
