Hope, passion, and PURPOSE restored

I never thought one could be truly free of addiction, emotional torment, and past trauma. It starts with the willingness to take small risks. Opening up to a friend. Attending a support group. Finding a counselor. Writing in a journal. Self-care. Simply getting out of bed in the morning.

You don’t have to be silent anymore.

I believe YOU.
your story matters.

Just know that there are people out there who are there for you even thru the darkest days and also the positive thing I was say is you are good enough and you got this and keep moving forward

Healing is saying the secrets that you hid from the rest the world so you could get up, put up, and never give up.
Healing is not lying to yourself anymore by saying, "Everything is fine."
Healing is giving yourself the time to process the myriad of emotions that came flooding in when you finally left your abuser.

I am writing this a mother of a survivor. My daughter was abused by her paternal grandfather from the age of 5 to 6 years of age. Her father discovered the abuse, as we were in the process of divorce at the time. I learned of it through a DFS investigator who told me over the phone what was happening with my child. I was devastated. Her abuser was arrested and after a short period of investigation, we went to trial. His attorney wanted him to receive just 5 years of probation and no registry. We fought against it as they had also found child p...

I love myself more, but I want a safe and calm outing

I am trying to leave this DV relationship, but it's complicated. He lives with me; he uses my phone and car because he doesn't have neither. I don't want to get the police involved nor do I want to kick him out, 1. he will just be outside my apartment unit and 2. defamation of my character - for some reason everyone believes him and don't see any wrong by him but he sure can make someone look terrible.

No Longer Broken

You are loved and you are needed. You deserve love that doesn’t hurt.

go for help tell someone, talk to your teacher, tell your parents or a trusted friend. if it is someone in your family doing this to you, go to a trusted friend, have them take you to the hospital and get a rape kit done. i wish I had then my rapists would be in prison today. don't take the law into your own hands let the police handle it for you and you just work on getting yourself better. and one other thing do not think about committing suicide because once you do that deed you don't get a comeback to life card. once you're dead, you're de...

A SURVIVING VICTIM’S STORY - Name

A SURVIVING VICTIM’S STORY - Name
I was four years old when upon hearing my parents’ raised voices, I peered around our living room corner, a silent spectator to my dad’s hand connecting with my mom’s face, propelling her into the air and onto our Danish Modern coffee table. Upon impact, the table and my petite mother broke into pieces. That night, my fix-it father repaired the table. I didn’t know it then, but my mother was forever broken. Although my older brother didn’t witness this one-sided match-up, he certainly heard them arguing,...

Love doesn't hurt. It' not love if it does.

Healing from physical, mental and financial abuse; the best part of your story is yet to come!

Healing is taking control of the part of your story that you previously thought you had little control over. The beginning of middle of your story isn’t the finished product!

Name

Learn to forgive. Don’t carry the anger you had because it will break you. Part of that is also learning to like who you are. Easier said than done for sure, but worth the effort. Counseling was extremely helpful and I still use some of the skills my counselor taught me. You were victimized, it’s not your fault.

Why I didn't Share

My Path from Pain to Purpose - name

To my fellow survivor,
I want you to know that your silence doesn’t have to define your story any longer. For so long, I, too, carried the weight of secrets and pain, believing that silence would protect me from the shame, the memories, and the fear. But here’s what I’ve learned: silence only allows the wounds to deepen. Speaking up—sharing your truth—is the first step toward healing.

Yes, like my poem Poem Title by Name

We made it! we are on the other side of this now. No longer victims and living a different life now. May you have peace and freedom and go out there and challenge yourself, no one can hold you back now. We have made it we are never ever going to be who we were before the abuse, but today today we know who we are, what we absolutely will not tolerate and what we want for our lives and if you have just started on the journey know that it is long and one and don't ever blame yourself for the abuse. Celebrate You in every way!

Name's Story

Healing is knowing that you are worthy, lovable, forgivable, valuable, smart, capable, funny, wanted, needed, strong, & so much more. It’s knowing that all the messes are now testimonies. It’s knowing you survived everything that tried to break you. It’s knowing that you should never give up. Always let your light shine and be yourself. Your people are going to love you for you so you don’t have to change anything about yourself.

Loving yourself will come, and when it does, it will open doors you didn't even know were there.

I will get there, I’m just not there yet

Waking up and going to sleep knowing I am safe and at peace in my own home.

A Survivor Not a Victim 💕✨

Hope is the silver of light left when you are surrounded by darkness. It is love in its greatest form 💕

I’m sorry, but I’m no longer here for you; I’m here for myself.

We believe in hope.
To every survivor reading this, I want you to know that there is light beyond the darkness. Your strength may feel fragile right now, but it is there, waiting to guide you through. The pain you’re experiencing is real, but it does not define you. You are more than the sum of your struggles.

Uk bad boys a bunch of criminals that are causing harm to my friends health .

Keep fighting and keep Goign don’t let theme silence you ok .

Our Stories Have Power

From one survivor to another, you are so strong. You were strong during, and you are strong after, that has not changed. I’m proud of you for being able to leave because that is never easy, and even if the healing isn’t easy, please keep looking forward, don’t look back.

Never return to the individual(s) who were responsible due to retaliation. Everyone makes mistakes & may not always know what the outcome is until it's too late after it occurs. When someone reports it to a lot of people, it gets out there and there's no taking it back. Too many people know of it. It can make or break you as a person.

Some people don’t deserve a second chance or a third or fourth

Just remember, it wasn’t all you. It isn’t all your fault. But if you continue to stay and put yourself in harms way again and again that is on you. You can be stronger you can walk away you can be on your own and you will be OK.

Healing is believing in good again.
