I’ve spent countless days and nights figuring out if I should post my TRUTH. I find that being a business owner I can't elevate higher if things are holding me back mentally and emotionally. I decided today that I would share my TRUTH because I am not alone and the TRUTH is where you begin. I am embarking on a healing journey, trying to regain the strength to undo the done. I’ve been hurt, belittled, criticized, stepped on, and made a fool of. One thing I was able to keep was my sanity through it all. Two years ago I remember being on my way to work, in the car without the radio on for months, praying to God, crying uncontrollably asking him to give me the strength to go on. I was in a very mentally, emotionally, unstable, draining relationship with a narcissistic, manipulative, egotistical “man”. So every day I asked, “Am I not good enough?” What am I doing wrong?” “How can I make him happy”. The problem was all of these questions were directed towards loving him and not loving myself. I never had a solid foundation growing up, country girl, raised by a young single mother, absent father, etc. My Trauma started very early when I was about 7 years old, sexually assaulted by a woman. Then, again by a man at the age of about 9 or 10. One last time at 13 by a family friend. I never healed from it, more trauma followed. At 17 years old I met my physical abuser, he choked me, kicked me while on the ground, and even spat in my face because I walked ahead of him. That relationship ended when a gun was put to my head and the butt of the gun used to hit me in the mouth causing my mouth to bleed, swell, and the nerves to die in my front teeth. That's just a piece of it...The trauma didn’t end there. It continues to be apart of me. I suffer from anxiety and depression, some days are ok, good, miserable, or an emotional roller coaster. The thing about YOUR truth is that it builds you to be something. For me, I’m strong and courageous.&nbsp;&nbsp;The battle that I’m battling is not for the weak. I strive to be an advocate for women who are going through or have been through the same as I. You are not alone. I stand with you. Lets keep fighting&nbsp;💪🏾
