Thank you so so very much!

I always wanted to write and I’d go long periods with blocks on where to even begin but I just decided to go for it.

For a long time I just wrote my thoughts in my notes and waited for the right time for them to be unleashed into to wild.

My great friend, Sarah, told me well over a decade ago that I needed to write a book and lately my mom said the same.

I have unresolved childhood trauma, deep identity issues, terribly wrong core beliefs, ran away from home at 16 and got married and pregnant—only for him to abuse me in more ways than I could think were possible. Not just him but his family too…there was this one time I was hiding behind a bed, 8 months pregnant, next to my MIL while my FIL shot at the door.

My “baby daddy” (cringe) got to the point where he’d walk a good 5-6′ in front as soon as not to be seen with me. And oh, honey, don’t you believe when he pops up that he fires away at me with everything in his arsenal, fact or fiction. He especially likes to attack my looks. Wtfe.

Now that my son is an adult I feel more comfortable if he were to read some of the reality I experienced. Not to mention they loved to shower him [son] with very expensive gifts like an iPad at a young age. Yet, when my poor baby was honest enough to tell me, at age 11, that his father was physical with him.

Ohhh noooo, not their wonderful son. So instead they cut off access to the iPad and the games he played.

Anywho, maybe I will write a book, but ongoing. I want my future grandbabies in there too!
