Finding Wisdom, Healing and Freedom After Childhood Abuse

I’ve learned that acknowledging the past does more than uncover painful memories.

It gives us the wisdom to understand how childhood abuse, neglect, and domestic violence have shaped our lives. That understanding becomes the foundation for healing and the freedom to make different choices.

At the age of forty-eight, an unexpected encounter with my estranged husband on a dating website became a turning point. God used that moment to stop me from running from the past.

I began writing as a way to release years of pain and unanswered questions.

As I reflected on my childhood and the years I spent in an abusive marriage, hidden memories surfaced. I wrote honestly about childhood trauma, domestic violence, and the long-lasting effects abuse had on my life.
