A very few of these friends, know some of my life story and what I have been through. I'm not looking for anyones sympathy, believe me. I was a victim, but I am now a "survivor"! I don't believe anyone, let alone a child, should be the victim of anything that will have a detrimental effect on their lives, ever! I'm proud to say, I'm a survivor of physical and mental child abuse, sexual child abuse, and physical, mental, verbal and emotional abuse, as well as domestic abuse! I've become a stronger person through years of therapy and counselling. I still have a weak side that I may never overcome, but I'm working on that every day. If, by any chance, you're dealing with any kind of abuse, and I pray your not, please contact someone who will help you. There are enough agencies out there now-a-days to help those in need. If you would just like to chat, I'll be more than happy to listen to you. You'll find links to sites at the bottom of this page to help you to get help. Please take advantage of what is at your fingertips, and dont let go. You have to be willing to take that first step to recovery, (and that first step is always the hardest to take) and you're the only one who can do it. You won't be alone, I reassure you. I know first hand about the fear you feel, I've been there!

Hold fast to your dreams, and dont let anyone take them from you. They are yours and yours alone. Only you know what is right for you.
