The Purpose

Hello and welcome to my new blog! For those of you who know me, the reason behind my new hobby will need no explanation.  To those of you who don't, well... Let's just say for the time being that you will soon find out however, I'll brief you.  My story begins as a small child living with my stay at home mother, hard working father, and a brother 4 years my junior.  From the outside we appeared to be a well put together functioning unit.  But inside closed doors, things were quite the contrary.  My soon to follow posts will explain the verbal, physical, and emotional abuse that I endured as a child which continued into my thirties as well as the effects it's had on my life.  I hope that by writing this blog other adult children of abuse will learn to overcome their own trials and tribulations.   I hope that parents reading this will not make the same mistakes that my parents did and will take something away from my writings.  I hope that anyone reading this who shares the same struggles will find their own voice and begin to fight for their convictions.  Please know that this blog is not meant to incriminate anyone.  It is not meant to belittle or berate my family.  It is what it is.  My release.
