Stand up for Me!
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.
Victims may have a sense of doubt and questions on why this situation has happen. Memories of the tragedy can be long term and left with a sense of emptiness. 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. Strength as being told comes in numbers and with time. Being older, I thought that time will heal and in some cases it does and for others may take a little longer than others. I have learned to finally accept myself in not doubting who I am as a woman, sister, mother and friend. I have learned to look in the mirror and smile at myself everyday to remind me that today is a new day and to let go of the hurt.
The richness of your life can help with overcoming abuse while building love for yourself at the same time. There are agencies that can help with you or someone you may know that have been a victim of abuse. If you know of someone suffering from abuse of any kind please report it. To overlook can do more damage than the damage itself.
