The stories we see on Lifetime network, USA or movies on Netflix and other television stations that speak on abuse towards women are sometimes hard to deal with. However, this topic isn't just women, thee are men, boys and girls who suffer from abuse everyday as well.  Being a survivor of sexual and mental abuse, this topic is can be hard to deal with; but it must be heard.  There are so many emotions, thoughts and fears that victims deal with everyday for the rest of their lives.

The victim usually knows the person that is doing the abuse which makes the healing process that much harder to do. But having a support system can help with recovery.

Sometimes as women we lose ourselves in so many ways and sadly so quickly. Women have so many roles without being asked or even receiving a thank you. Women do not look for justification on why we are superwoman or reasoning on why things should be done. However, we are tired of the shame, disrespect, and the notion of knowing we run this world to not be given a plaque of our own. Yes, people wake up; it is not a man’s world. Women bare children, run a household, work many different jobs, have long nights and short days, get up the next day and do it all again.........(sigh) but throughout many roles no respect or honor is given.

It’s that time of the year to tell that special lady “thank you” and “you have always been there for me” is coming up! To all the mothers out there biological or by some sort of chance placed in that role HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! You have given birth, raise children even if they are not bilogically yours, cared for others and always kept a smile. You stand tall and battle the early mornings as well as the late nights, still smile and keep yourself together. You may have a glass of wine when the children are sleep and say “What the hell is really going on?” You may give your cares, worries and cries to your spiritual areas, but one thing for sure is GIRLFRIEND YOU ROCK!! Thank you for those who took the role of mother...... and have shed your wisdome, love and prayers on us to keep the cycle going.   This is your time to honor your beauty and have your choice of martinis because you have definitely earned it.
