    Wouldn’t it be nice if people start seeing the good in us and we begin to see the good in ourselves. We can then stat to ask ourselves the question what is right with me. Words has power. Action gives your words strength.

    Escaping from my abuser with my children was not easy but i did it. I now have a lifetime restraining order and I am happy. We should be able to make our own decisions. No one should control us.

  • Leaving my Abuser for good

    I went to visit my last apartment in Bronx  New York. The apartment where I lived with my first abuser and a short time with my second abuser. I  recall a lot of my memories in that apartment but no triggers. I do not know if it was because I had one of my sons with me. Whatever the reasons I was glad.

  • Can Abusers change?

    Being a survivor and living with not just one but two abusers, i wonder can an abuser change? i read it is possible if they really want to change. It is not for the victims to make them change. it is the abuser who needs to seek out the support and follow through.

  • PTSD
    Posttraumatic stress disorder, what is it.  (PTSD) is defined as a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury. As a black person I know many of us grow up in areas where we see people shot, kill, bullied, threatened. Learning your child or someone close to you was violently killed.  For some of us it is  common yet we do not get the support. We are expected to go on as if nothing happen
