CHILD ABUSE MONTH....

Monday, April 2nd, 2007, 9:33 pm

Well my Monday started off by me backing my son's car into a wall this morning. Yeppie! That is what I love about Mondays :o) Luke went to his therapist today and it turned out very good today. I really like him and we had a nice talk  on how to help Luke and his issues. That is where I back the car into the wall..lol. We went to church this weekend and everyone seemed to enjoy it very much. It was very nice to be back in Church. Luke had a really nice time. Jacob didn't go he was at my Dads, but he is going next week. Well Spingtime has left us, it has felt like summertime and this weekend it is suppose to be down in the 30's. What is up with this weather? In NC we use to have Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter and it felt just like each season, but now you can not tell which season is upon you??? How is your weather acting these days?

APRIL IS NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH!
I was abused has a child and this is very near and dear to my heart. Please take an extra moment to give your children a special hugs and a "way to go" this month. It wasn't easy climbing out of the deep pit of hell of child abuse and rape. But I have done it. The best way I did it was to work with and help others who had been abused. I ask of you too to do some volunteering at your local shelter or DSS for children who have been abused. I know the Big Brother or Sisters groups work well. You feel so very alone when you are a child of this unspeakable crime and you feel unwanted, dirty and like no one cares or loves you. Your self esteem and self confidence is so low you just step on it each time you try to walk. It rules your life when you are young especially if it goes unreported and un-noticed. It did mine and it lead me to drinking at an early age and cutting. I quit drinking at the age of 23 and cutting at the age of 19. Thank GOD for that. I have always hada very deep Spiritual belief and I do know that is why I am here today and going stronger each new day that I am given. I am healed from this abuse now as an adult, but let me tell you it was a hell of a long road to get to this place. No one should have to suffer like I did. That is why it is so very important for children to tell of this abuse or if you know of any abuse going on do something about it. Please do not turn your head. The faster you get help the better off each child will be in the long run. I was repeatly raped at the age of 7 by a 16 year old "friend of the family". "The all american boy next door". He did this to me for over a year and I was to scared to ever tell anyone. He said he would kill my little brother if I did. I have since taught my boys, no matter what anyone says they will do to you or us, you are to tell if someone hurts you in anyway. Please teach your children the same. Abusers will threaten your children. My abuser was never brought to justice. For more of my story just drop me an email.  Honor and Respect your children they are only loaned to us:o)
