I am a superwoman, yes I am…

My story does not have to be one of strength to any one other than myself. I am a living testament that God makes a way. Some days I feel so overburdened, but than I have to look at the battles I have fought and won and I am overcome with so much pride. I know that my life is not perfect, but it will never be. My life is great. I have two beautiful children, I am a student and I always try to do my best. I left an abusive relationship without a real plan and have survived. I am a survivor. I am a superwoman.

Every woman has this strength inside. The world and people may try to tell you that you are not enough or that you cannot achieve the impossible; I want to tell you with faith in God all things are possible. Just please do not give up. Putting your trust in other people may lead to disappointment, but God will never fail you because he always makes a way. It may not be the road you wanted to take, however, he always leads you the way you need to go. I received an email this morning that said,” God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.” I believe this to be true.

You are being molded; not broken by your obstacles. It may not feel like it right now. One day it will all make sense. When you are having one of the bad moments when you are beating yourself up or thinking you’re a failure; just close your eyes and remember everything that makes you great. Your smile, your sense of humor, your compassion, your love, your strength…

Have a support network

Domestic violence victims and survivors need a support network. It is very difficult handling all the stress by yourself. Sometimes friends and family do not know how to deal with the situation so they will just distance themself from you. This does not mean they do not care; most times it is just miscommunication. It is important not know when and how to ask for help when needed. Remember everyone needs someone some of the time.

Sons that miss their abusive fathers

When leaving an abusive relationship is it ever safe to go back? Are the children safe to have a relationship with the abusive parent? The reason why I ask is because my son misses is father. Lately, he has been misbehaving and regressing. Will seeing his father or allowing them to speak daily help? Will it worsen the situation? It is so hard to say.

How vital is the father's role in a young boy's life?
