Women Coping With Abuse
Together We Can Help Stop Violence Against Women
Hello And Welcome To My Site,
My name is "Ann", and I would like to start off by telling you a little about myself.. Since a very young age I have always known that my purpose in life was to help others who have been victims of abuse.
I can understand how much it hurts to live in silence and you live in silence because your afraid that if you tell someone they won't believe you, and I guess that we become this way because of fear that we were probably told as a young child, young adult that if you tell anyone I will hurt you or even your family. I must admit that someone telling you this as a young child can be so traumatizing and these words will always be there for a very long time until you talk to someone.
It is really ok, to talk to someone you feel safe with, someone you know that you can trust, but mostly someone that you know will not look down at you or make you feel that it is your fault. I believe that it is very important that you somehow find the strength in you to take the first step of believing that you or no one else should ever deserve abuse. Once you can believe in you than it gets easier to want to help yourself. I found that sometimes when I went back to good memories as a child it made me feel good about myself. Sometimes we just have to look deep inside ourselves to find out who we really are.
