The chapters of a life can be overwhelming. You may feel that you are the only one who has experienced hardship, but reality is that everyone on earth has had trauma in their life. To some it may seem, so overwhelming, that they turn to drugs and alcohol, then others will take their own life.
Experience of divorce-s, adoption, illness for years, abused as a child that sometimes leads to being abuse as an adult. Victim or
perpetrator both have stories to tell. Death of your child or spouse that seems
like you cannot go on any longer. Somehow you find the strength to carry on
knowing it has to get better, but does it.
I personally have experienced more than most. Divorce times
three, gave a baby up for adoption, who later came back into my life 24 years
later. Who then died 16 years later, after a very long illness, she called me
Mom by then. We had worked together, lived together and I helped with her
children when I could. I drove truck for 10 years so I was not always able to
be there daily or weekly. But when she called me to come home to get her
children, because the state was taking them, I flew home. I had been sexually
and physically abused as a child and as an adult. My second husband was going to set
me on fire and throw me into the septic tank he was digging. Luckily his father
and brother showed up and prevented it from happening.
I had attempted to commit suicide when I was sixteen, was not successful, thank God.
