I Am What I Am , I Am Me

I post quite a bit about my blessed life I live NOW.
It ain't always been so!
I would like to explain the rest of my story so you all understand why!
There is no way I will give details because of "triggers".
I was beaten by my father at a very early age and continued.
My mother is a mean nut job, never satisfied.
I was thrown away at the age of 14.
Lived on the streets till I was 16.
Got ganged raped while on the streets.
My once upon a time husband beat me till I was unconscious, in the middle of a street!
I had a gun held to my head and then he shot it off in the air!
I worked two jobs most of my adult life.
Only had one child,...miscarried 4 times at 3 mos.
My son went to war.
Last icing on the cake, my home burnt down to the ground.
………… sigh!
So, you see, I know heartache!
My way of speaking can be ruff and tuff.
My feelings are easily hurt.... working on that now. I got to stop allowing others to have power over me.
I carry a bleeding heart for others, because I never want another to know such sorrows. I will always reach out!
Life is all about your attitude, and your perspective.
The HERE and Now.... Life is wonderful! I am blessed beyond measure!
Peace out! :-)

You're a very strong woman, Echoing. 💞🕊️

@Vivaci Thank you🌹 You know... I can think back to those days, and I have no idea how I survived or remained sane. It's like it happened to another person. Of course that is what PTSD does, you kinda forget but the triggers are in place and can surface in a blink of an eye. I have learned what triggers my off-set spells. This shall pass too! 🙃 I guess I was blessed after all those sorrows. I give thanks for my blessings every single day. ☮️
@Echoing Such a lovely attitude, my friend. I think in those dark moments, God carried you in His palm....so you didn't feel it much. He's still around you and so are His angels.

Stay blessed 🙏😇

God bless you..@Vivaci When I was little, one of my favorite songs/hymns was "Surely goodness and mercy" shall follow me all my days.... and I shall feast at the table spread for me... … 💕 I am dining in style these days!
@Echoing Amen!!! 😍

His Grace is ever flowing, abundant and forgiving. 🙌
