Hi Everyone....This is a new page that I am making....it is something that I feel very strongly about...I would like to see all types of abuse toward women and especially children...to be erased from our world...There is no reason for anyone to abuse anyone...of any type....Physical...Sexual...or Mental....they are all just as bad...and leave a scar on any one that has had it happen to them...

I know from personal experience...I was abused as a child...and it is something that I will never forget....It was by 2 men that were supposed to be friends of my parent's....and they did not know anything about it...The one man threatened me...as well as my family...I did not tell anyone about it...until after the one man died...

I then felt safe enough to tell my Mother....the sad part was....this was just a few months ago....I am 35 years old...and I have been carrying this around with me since I was 8 years old...

I can finally talk about it...with out being afraid....and I know now....it was not my fault....

Most people that have been abused think it is their fault...and it IS NOT their fault...

I also went through 2 marriages where I was verbally and mentally abused....I guess I was used to this...and I felt that I deserved it...It took me 3 years to get out of the first marriage...and 11 years to get out of the second...

I am now in a relationship with a wonderful man...He is the best thing to ever happen to me...He made me realize...I am worth something...and I am not there to be used as a punching bag for anyone...

I feel that if I can do it with help from a wonderful man...there are so many of us out there that can help others to get out of the bad situations they are in also....Especially the children....They are so innocent...and are there to be loved...and cherished...not hurt...and made to feel useless...or that they deserve to be treated badly...

Please check out the sites that I have here on my page...I hope that you will think about what I have said....and will try and make a difference in someones life...and help them to be safe...

Thank you for checking this site out...and for letting me get this stuff off of my chest... :-) :-) :-)
