Hello Everyone from a VERY RAINY INDIANA….
First I want to sincerely thank everyone who wrote to me
about my blog about a “Throw Away.” I
really debated with myself on whether or not to post it, but in the end, it was
very therapeutic and helpful. Please
also accept my apologies for not answering everyone or posting anything more
about it until now.
To clarify a bit about that post which I’m sure seemed a bit
cryptic to some, it was about a man who abused me. It was physical, sexual, and emotional abuse which
started when I was just a child and continued until I was a young adult. I started in therapy as a young adult and
have been in and out of therapy over this for years. I really felt I had dealt with it and all of its
issues. I was mistaken.
Shortly after Bob and I married we considered moving. However, Bob and I both have family and friends
here, and neither of us really wanted to move.
So it was a happy surprise when this person moved instead…and had been
gone for years and years.
Unfortunately, right before I posted “Do You Know What a
Throw Away is? he had moved back. This brought
back all the memories. But on the other
hand, shouldn’t we all rise to a challenge? And this has been a challenge for
me.
Every day since I posted that I would check in and read the
sweet notes my “friends” left for me.
You cannot know what every little note and email message left for me and
sent to me has meant. You really do feel
so very much alone when you’re going through such an ordeal….but I no longer
feel alone ….thanks to all of you.
Bless You All,
Brenda
P.S. I want to draw everyone’s’
attention to my new picture. It’s been quite
a few years since I started this blog and posted the picture of me as a blonde
(with my niece Debbie at her wedding).
Well I thought it might be nice for you all to meet the “present time”
me….and yes, I’m a natural brunette. The
picture isn’t that great, but I really felt that ‘therapeutic-wise” posting the
new picture now was a good idea. I’ll
post a better one when I have a chance to get one taken.
