"I Will Survive"
My Journey To Recovery
Recovery is a journey and not a destination.
This page will be an ongoing journal of my recovery. Come back often to
see my progress.
I want other women to know that there is hope, there is a light at the
end of the tunnel and leaving an abuser can end up being the best thing
that you ever do for yourself and your children.
I also want women to know that their feelings and thoughts are the same
as any other abused women. We may be different people but our stories are
the same.
You are not alone...we all know the feelings and the the doubt in your
life. We've been there too!!
One thing that will help you on your journey to recovery is to read my
story. As well as sharing events of this nightmare, I also share what I
have learned along the way. Things that you will need to make your journey
as well. So please take the time to read my story and see my trials but
also my new awarenss.
I also think that you will see some of the things that are part of the
healing. I share the times I think about him and wonder.
The times I think of things that could have been.
Then there are the times when I am fully aware and this is good for healing.
It is broken down into the chapters of my life

Chapter
1
What I Have Learned
|
This is about my abuse, how it
started, and how I now have interpreted and become aware of that abuse.
I share some of the ways my husband abused me. It also shows the effects
that wife abuse has on us all....we become physically ill.
I have become so much more aware of how he abused me. I wonder why I could
not see it then.

Chapter
2
What I Have Learned
|
Full awarenss about the abuse is
coming.
I am not running away, I am seeking new horizons. Now that he is gone I
have began to write again. I am learning that life is all in what we make
of it. We are still innocent in our hopes and dreams of the Cinderella
Story.

Chapter
3
What I Have Learned
|
I have learned that there is a
difference between a cop and a police officer. I have learned that
abusers lie with every breath. They want others to think this
is our fault. We started it all. He turns on the charm and they look
at you like you are the crazy one.
But every once in a while a police man would come and not a cop.

Chapter
4
What I Have Learned
|
The first thing I learned was I
could do nothing to change the fact that I had to be there in court. I
needed to work towards acceptance of this. It was pure hell for me because
I was so scared my husband would be there! My stomach and heart did not
do the old familiar ....As the stomach turns routine and my heart did not
race. Yours will not either, You will make it through this!
Look at how far we have come in surviving this nightmare.
And last I learned to not let anyone ever take away my dignity. An abuser
will take our very soul if they can. Never let them have it or anything
else that is a gift on the beauty of you!

I'll answer right away. Don't continue on your journey to abuse....get
off that train and board another called "Peace and Tranquility".
You will see a lot of poems and sayings on this site regarding growth,
awareness,and the journey to wellness. It all started with my own journey
to heal and get well myself.
