The Journey to Self Discovery

Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you - depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God/The Higher Power/ Goddess/ The Universe wants to use problems for good in their lives.

It is really common for survivors of sexual abuse to remember or have flashbacks of the sexual abuse when they become parents.  When I became a new mother, I was prepared for a great deal, but nobody told me that breastfeeding my baby would trigger me. At times when I was nursing my baby, I felt like I was walking back into a war zone as a soldier with PTSD.
