For this place. I'm a mum of four lovely children. I have broken the cycle of my childhood abuse and use kindness and discussion with my kids it has helped us build a trusting loving relationship which is opposite to what I grew up with I had a mum who

Possible trigger:

used me as a slave and beat me daily which I believe was the main reason I chose an abusive husband. I left him a few years ago after I found out he was with someone from his work after 15 years of marriage and him and his girlfriend organised him crushing up tablets from her and he put them into a salad and gave it to me when I was 3 months pregnant. Losing my baby and my husband in this manner has changed my brain

I feel because I keep forgetting things and I stopped eating hardly and also I sometimes don't hear what my children are saying to me. I frequently get my heart racing from flashbacks which is something I can't see when they are coming and so I'm thinking they will get less with time but sometimes I think my brain is just like this now and I have to try and live with it.

First I would like to say, Thank you for sharing. I know that is not easy, because I can relate. Sharing my story has been hard. Know you are not alone. What you went through is awful. BUT remember our trauma experiences do not defined who we are. Taking our brokenness and dealing with the emotions that come with it daily is not easy, but you can get through it. One day at a time, with a good support system is key.
