A Ghost Of Abuse

You’re still here.

That is one of the best parts of getting past any abuse. You are making it. So now comes the hardest time: talking about it.

It may feel like your story is still controlled by your past relationship or own past but the truth can still be told. There is always hope in tomorrow and even in your most hurtful times you will make it past this day. Though they may seem like only words at time, hang onto sustaining power.

About Me

I am a Designer, Artist, Musician, Writer and Spirit Filled. I have managed to hold on to these things through 15 years of childhood sexual abuse and 8 years of psychological and emotional abuse that changed almost all of who I am.

I hope to give that strength to others through my own personal experience and encourage them that they can be free from abusive relationships and the past.
