1 in 3 women will be beaten or raped in her lifetime.  That's One Billion Women.  1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18.  Children are most vulnerable between the ages of 7 and 13.  Experts agree that the prevalence of sexual and physical abuse are far greater than what is reported to authorities.  These are sobering numbers and facts. 

I was born into a toxic environment that included domestic violence.  Nothing was ever done by the authorities.  I witnessed the fear and torment time and time again.  It changed my view of the world and it embedded certain things within me.  Then, at the age of 6 1/2, and after my father moved out of the house my own abuse started when I began being sexually molested by the neighbor family "friend."  It lasted through the age of 15.  Like so many others, my own abuse is not calculated in the statistics.   The man that later became my husband was the first person I ever told about my abuse.  I was 21. I didn't tell anyone in my family until I was 29 and still later a few friends.  Many people don't understand why nothing is said until much later.  There are a host of reasons but those who have not walked this path are often left mystified by this common occurence.  As a beginning point I can say that my environment growing up conditioned me to believe I couldn't trust anyone, especially my own family, nor even the authorities.  Those of you who have been abused, those who didn't feel safe to tell anyone, know and understand when I say "I was all alone in my experience."  This is raw truth. 

Abuse and violence of any kind is still a hidden ordeal for many. The impact is great and long-term.  It doesn't just go away.  It changes who we are no matter what the age. It affects us in ways that are often not understood and difficult to grasp. 

But I'm here to tell you that I do understand. I do know first hand because of my own experience.  It changed me.  It broke my spirit.  I have been on a journey ever since trying to find the scattered pieces of the broken-up puzzle.  At the time of this writing (2014) I am 48 years old.  It has taken me this long to finally come to a place within myself to share this part of my life to the public.  It's a big deal.  It has taken a lot of strength and courage, and let's not forget HOPE, to reach this point in my life.  My life was hidden but I could no longer live this way.  "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom" ~ Anais Nin.  I have blossomed; and I continue to soar high above the clouds in my own beauty like a butterfly no longer trapped in her cocoon.

Through my own healing process I can honestly say that I have been able to bring my scattered pieces together....finally.  I understand many things about my abuse experience from the soul level.  I have released many things and gained a wider perspective.  This has helped me tremendously in my own healing.  I think one of the biggest questions asked by many is, "why?"  and also, "how can I heal from such a deep wound?"  The need to heal is profound in each of us who have been abused.
