This Page and those connected to it are dedicated to all of the survivors of child abuse.
We are survivors and will continue to try and stop the innocents from suffering as we did.

Survivors of abuse (child abuse, sexual assault
and domestic violence) often feel a strong desire
to become involved in the fight against abuse
in some way. Unfortunately, many survivors feel too
worthless to believe that anything they could do to
contribute would help.
Nothing is further from the truth!
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world;
indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Daddy and I have secrets, and I don't know why, and when I want to tell mommy, he say's I'll make her cry........... I try to be real quiet, not even breathing like i'm there, but then I hear daddy, and I say a little prayer.............. I turn my face into my pillow not wanting to look at my dad, but I'm afraid if I don't, he'll get really mad............. What he does hurts, and he hits me when I whimper and cry, I had to go to school yesterday with a broken nose, and black eye............ I always wonder about mommy, and why she never says a thing, except for when I'm bad, she yells and hits me until my ears ring................ I always clean my room, and even feed the dog, I take care of my little brothers, and talk alot to God............. God never answers me, but I know he must be real, I ask him every night to help me, but pain is all I feel........... I finally told mommy, and daddy beat me black and blue, I cried out for my mommy, but she was crying too............. My little brother has a bruise on his cheek, but I didn't do it mommy, I swear, I see my daddy smack him again, and it knocks him out of his chair.............. While eating, my little sister made a mess, but she's not even one, my daddy hit her so hard, that her head fell back and swung............ My mommy told my gramma that daddy hits her and me, he did it for the first time when she was going to have me........... I had a little brother who was older than me, but he's in heaven with God where I wish I could be............... I always wish on stars, and search for a four leaf clover, I heard gramma say they are lucky, so maybe when I find one, all of this will be over.............. I got screamed at again, and slapped hard too, my mommy took the belt and hit me with the buckle and daddy's Navy shoe........... I was taken to the doctor today, but they just put a cast on me, no one ever wonders why this has to be............. Are all mommies and daddies like this I wonder, I think I'll ask my friend, but not until daddy's done, he put my clothes on top of the fridge............. I know I shouldn't wish to go to heaven, my sister and brothers need me too much, as long as I'm here, I'm the only one daddy will touch............ Dear Lord, how could you send us here, don't you hear us cry? Here comes daddy down the hall, but God still hasn't told me why.................. |

We are wounded children still caring for the wee ones
with a vengence,
still the tiny strong warriors with bleeding wounds within.
Seeing
rainbows through our tears, and clinging to each other
with our pain and
fears. Forming a family that was stolen from us, giving
the gift of
childhood to those who will listen to us. So many abusers,
God help us
all, the Goddess knows how hard we've had to fall. We
pick each other
up, and dust each other off, we dry each others tears,
and and help
each other heal and recall. Tiny little angels, so sweet,
one and all,
spirit gave us strength to be a voice to those who have
none at all.
Still, we come forward from every walk of life, some
of us are doctor's,
some of us are wives, some of us are abusers, some of
us can't heal,
some of us are still so angry, that our abusers we wish
to kill. Tiny
shattered warriors, that's us if you please, help us
protect the others
from this terrible disease! The inner child is calling,
crying out for a
prayer, will you be someone that hears that child and
cares?
