I was born and raise in a little town, Pottstown PA in the 80s. I was an only child for about 15 years. You would have thought I had it all, a spoiled little girl that had everything. It was the total opposite. I am not ashamed or embarrassed from what I’ve been through because it made me the woman I am today. To be able to live and learn and to have a testimony to share with other women, men and children, that you can be broken and meant to be destroyed by everything around you but instead being built Ford tough in the process. I was in foster home to foster homes from ages 3 to 9. My birth mother kept her visitations, and worked on herself will eventually regain full custody of me, without my father around. Now the next chapter of my life was still in shambles, although I was back with my mother. Thinking I am now back with my mother I can live a normal Life. Not at all. Now, I was being molested for years by my blood uncle, my mothers brother. They were originally from Baltimore Maryland, when my mother met my father he moved her to Pottstown, PA and her two brothers followed along. Now the street had my mother with her drug addiction. The safest place my mother thought I would be is with family, her brother. It’s sad to say the closest people that you trust the most, are usually the ones to take away your innocence, and takes advantage of you. We all know that drug addiction takes control over your mental. I don’t blame my mother at all but instead I respect her for doing what she had to do to regain custody of me because I could have been left in the system. Although, I was being molested, I had to act normal like nothing was happening. I didn’t have anyone to talk to about it, and I wanted some type of normalcy childhood being through the past I’ve been through. Being with my biological parent and now making my own friends I found some comfort. I held in for many many years almost 2 decades. After the molestation stop, he was still around he was family. Even when I got older he was still around, again I had to pretend nothing ever happened so I had to at casual inviting him to family functions whether my house or outings. We were never alone, he was never alone around my children, I can say for sure that he never touch any of my three children.

 

Through the grace of God. Thank you. Now I’m not going to get into many details, due to me writing a book and want to save some details for the book without a spoiler alert. Just know there is a great ending to this whole situation in tune in to my book coming soon! But when I say God is good. God is good. I am proud to be where I am today. I’m blessed I don’t look like what I’ve been through. With all this being said I am in a great place today with a lot of prayer, crying, lonely days and nights with God, therapists, life coaches, self-awareness and self reconstruction to be where I am today. I want to be the light in someone’s life, to let them know it’s OK to be broken, but piecing ourselves back together piece by piece is the real reward. It won’t happen overnight, and it won’t be easy one bit, but the reward, the rainbow after the storm and that end journey & finding your purpose in life will make it so worthy. Although, we may not see it if we never persist and prevail through the hardest times, we won’t ever get to see or experience the good side of life. I am now life coach, specializing in sexual assault, insecurities, mental and emotional abuse. I love to help people see their best versions of themselves no matter what the past or present looks like. All you need is faith in yourself in someone that believes in you and that’s me, and I believe with that combination we can conquer anything in life. This is not the end for you or I. So let’s get to the good part together.

 

Talk to you soon.
