Find Your Power In Your Problems

Image
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. They react foolishly after they've created the problem with hopes The Omniscient will fix it for them rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring to themselves if they find a solution for the choice they made. Firstly, not all problems are mistakes out of choice.  When you embark into this world alone to figure out your journey you will make some mistakes, but when that same mistake is repeated over and over again, it then becomes a choice.  And it is with that choice The Omnipotent uses to DIRECT you - Problems often point us in a new direction to pay attention and motivate us to change.  Do I need pay attention?

Memories of Parenthood

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. I recognized that basic acts of parenting triggered me such as nurturing, bathing and kissing my children.  Sometimes I even wondered if I was intruding on their space or if I was going to turn out like my perpetrator. These were the consequences or not having therapy or a support system that could have helped me with these feelings. These feelings disconnected me from my children and the results are that my first four children are not close to me. The rapes that I suffered at the hands of my father has been by far worse than the rapes I endured when I was trafficked. My father betrayed my love and trust in him. The other men
