Update and all that.



Hey it's Katie! I realized I haven't posted anything since Sexual Assault Awareness Month started!

Well, I'm on break at work & thought I would take a few minutes to post a quick update & all that jazz.

I have been doing much better. Still have my bad days. Still have my days of going a few steps back & then something will happen & I go forward again. I think this is common as a survivor.

And I just keep pressing on! My faith and trust in God has helped me immensely & I have a wonderful support system.

I haven't had any major flashbacks or dissociation episodes. Those only really happen when I'm really triggered by something and my body goes into protection mode. Unfortunately I can't predict when will happen but what I can do is practice self care and know that I can get through them!

I'm not sure if the next few days will trigger an episode, but I can say I'm doing the best I can to care for myself &  love myself!

Also.... Many good things are happening this month.

Jeff & the kitties and I will be moving to a new apartment. Away from all the bad memories. It's a new beginning for us! & I couldn't be happier!

Here's to good things and being true to myself!

Joyfully,
Katie

Ashley's Story

Thank you Ashley for being so brave! Love you.  " Hello, my name is Ashley and I am 19 years old. I am writing to you all today to tell my story, thanks to the wonderful creators of this page. One of them happens to be my best friend :)  My mom has always been verbally abusive. As I was growing up I struggled with learning how to respect my mom because she would always say things to hurt me and my way of defending myself was talking back. Others found it offensive and still do. They believe that every child should respect their parents. I do agree with that but it is hard to do when you are a victim in the relationship. Sometimes some people are opinion based on the old fashion morals and beliefs that every child should respect their parents. Those same people either blind themselves from witnessing a verbal attack or they don't care. My grandmother, my father’s mom, lived with us until she got sick and had to live with my aunt in Reno when I was 8. She raised me more than my ...

Taking back my life one lil step at a time

Happy Monday, you fearless readers! I had fallen into a deep depression, but I have clawed my way out and I'm ready to continue taking back my life one little step at a time! I'm choosing self care over self medication. And I'm focusing on my present and so positive relationship instead of the past. My abuser got my past but he does not get my present or future! I'm focusing more on all the positives and blessings in my life. I'm being fearless and choosing Joy! How about you? Are you with me?! Yes! Yes! The darkness doesn't last forever. I'm proof of it! Fearlessly and Joyfully, Katie💗💗💗💗

Tara's story.

" Here is my story of how I grew up in a home that was surrounded by domestic violence. Growing up was crazy for me. My parents always argued. Before I was born my mother and real father used to fight always according to what my mother told me and what my sister and brother witnessed. But after I was born my father stuck around until I was like 2 or 3. That's when my stepfather began raising me. After that my mother and he would always argue. They got physical with each other. They got to the point where my mother would get a knife and try to hurt my stepfather. I remember one time she chased him down the stair and in order to escape from her, he jumped out the window and broke his leg. This happened when I was younger. She has had so much anger in her we didn’t know where it came from. There were other times where she got angry at me and threw figurines at me. One Thanksgiving Day I wanted to spend it at my sister house, this was when I was in middle school, and my mother wok...
