Walking Through the Healing Process
It is ok to walk through the healing process so that we can weed out all the negative junk that was placed on our shoulders as children. A child should be protected and able to have a safe place to giggle, run and play without wondering if they will be made to do things grownup things that hurts them. Remember we had no control then but we do have a say in our lives now. God is our fortresses, our strong tower, through Him we find joy, peace and happiness.

This is me. This is how domestic-sexual abuse made me feel. Though there was family around me. I still felt alone. It was very chaotic but for a child that is all I knew. I was raped a few days before this picture was taken on my 12th birthday.

It is crazy how our bodies work. While still deep into the dv. I numbed so I didn't have to feel the emotional pain but I also numbed the physical pain. I know some people have a hard time believing that. I often felt like my heart was being ripped out literally. I was being pushed to the edge of no return. I felt lost, alone and hopeless. I often wondered what my purpose in life was. I wondered what it was like for other children growing up. I wondered what other people's marriage was like. I wanted to know if my life was the way it was because somewhere I did something wrong and I was being punished for it. I felt like I was in an dark pit. I did not know how to get out. I was often told the cops want believe you. I felt that was true because at 14 they fail to protect me when I was asking to talk to the juvenile detention officer. They threatened to lock me up when I was standing there with a ripped dress. There are so many layers to purge. Marie Waldrep 12-11-17
