18 Years Old, Married, Divorced and Still Resentful 32 Years Later
Original post 7/2014 Looking back on my life there are times when events seem like yesterday and others a lifetime ago. This is a lifetime ago memory one buried in deep resentment and anger. It's an oxymoron. I've had difficult challenges, staying alive was a challenge. I'm at peace in life now.

The face of child abuse * Mother’s Message To Her Child *
Original post 1/2015 I found photos of myself beginning at birth. As I looked at each photo my mind was asking who could hit this child. I began to sob, continuing to look at each as I grew older. The question of who could hit this child grew louder in my head. People who don't… Continue reading The face of child abuse * Mother’s Message To Her Child *
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Original post 5/2014 We do things for people we love not for those who do not deserve love. I woke today with a tug, my introspective mood. I save difficult post for days like this. It's not depression or sadness more logical than emotional. Dissociation is a conversation my therapist and I have talked about for… Continue reading What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Good Times Gone Bad
I started Looking for the Light on 2-22-2014, exactly 22 years after my father's suicide. Every year on the date, my emotions/logic are so conflicted. I stopped drinking years ago but every year I get drunk, my coping mechanism. I thought my dad was cool as a child and we had lots of fun. My father… Continue reading Good Times Gone Bad

Crazy Throw Back Tuesday on a Pony
Original post 5/2014 My mother was physically abusing me at 2 years old, actually started around 6 months old. She would grab me by the arm and dig her nails in on the underside. Nobody could see that way. I learned early how to smile to cover the pain. How could anyone hit this child
Andy Warhol’s “So Sweet” *Live For Today*
Original post 5/2014 I had to buy this Warhol because it was the complete opposite of my childhood. I saw the happy little girl and thought about me in kindergarten. She's carrying a bag of candy and a good report card, again not me. What makes it so special is my mother told me I was… Continue reading Andy Warhol’s “So Sweet” *Live For Today*
Mother leaves 8 year old at county hospital
Original post 6/2014 It's interesting the events our mind suppresses or forgets. I have no emotion talking about the physical and emotional abuse at the hands of my mother and step father. I have disassociated memories of sexual abuse by my father. I know it. My therapist and I have talked about it, she doesn't… Continue reading Mother leaves 8 year old at county hospital
