I understand. At 82, so far, I have freed myself from abuse of the type you describe. I finally feel safe, or more safe than ā beforeā, ( living with monsters).
So, I took the slogan from AA, ā one day at a timeā, and anotherā¦ā the only constant is changeā.
Nothing stays the same endlessly, though it feels like that.
Angel, if I had money or a place to put you up, I would.
In the meantime, I bless you with safe passage and a prayer. š
Thank you for sharing a small part of your story brother. Your story is my story. Angelās story is my story. Her life is saved. She escaped. Not every woman and man does. Sheās telling her story, rather than hiding it in shame. As you know, healing is not linear. Itās a lifetime of learning self love, of reclaiming your own life and in times of self abandonment, returning to yourself. My prayers are with sweet Angel. I will support her and let her know sheās not alone. š«¶š½šš«¶š½
Thank you for giving her the stepping stones to continue crawling out of hell. A story enough of unfortunately resonate with. I was the red headed step child in the Cinderella story Angel. You're not alone sweetheart. Thank you for you for being brave enough to share it. I hope you realize it helps others who don't even know others suffer in any similar way. I look forward to following you journey. If no one told you today I'm proud of you, you are strong, you are loved.
You simply suck it up and go on. Hold your head high. You make your own way as you have. For 42 youāve done good. You overcame your addictions and pulled yourself up by the bootstraps. Weāre all definitely proud of you and so happy to know you. As Mrs. Burzinski at the Clinic in Houston told me laughter is the medicine that helps cure cancer, it also helps cure the soul.
I apologize sincerely to you. I thought I was writing this to Hunter and somehow I musta pushed the wrong button and it went to you. Please forgive me. I love your writings. They help me understand so much of whatās happening.
Iāve been in touch with Angel from time to time, and Iām genuinely glad her work is being seen. Also that sheās getting the support and recognition she deserves. I want to acknowledge The Wise Wolf and everyone else helping amplify her situation. What stands out in this piece is how it holds both survival and voice at the same time how writing becomes not just expression, but a way of refusing disappearance.
Humanity always comes together no matter how much chaos is in the world.
Not sure how to private message The Wolf but I already have a paid sub. I did subscribe to Angel and made a small donation. Pray that things will get better for you.
im sure she really appreciates it! lol she was crying earlier when she saw her donations explode!!! she is so happy right now to be getting out of that house.
Oh Little One - I'm so thankful The Wise Wolf found you and shared you with us. Thank you for your bravery. I've no doubt you will thrive. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom and all else that is trying to break you. We bend. We do not break.
So many girls donāt even make it to womanhood without being abused. Itās sad and pathetic. Then unfortunately the cycle continues. However, there will be days of pure happiness and there will be days of peace. I pray that your rainbow appears soon for you. If you have health insurance please consider therapy. I waited until I was in my late fifties to get that therapy. I am 64 now and still have a hard time trusting men. So Angel you have a long beautiful road ahead of you. Iām glad that you can write. Art has always been my anchor. Hold onto that anchor. I will read your books. I have always loved reading. When you get settled maybe think about getting a dog. They have unconditional love and can remind us of what that feels like when humans have shown us so much bad. There is real good in this world. Sometimes itās just hard to see through the tears. I will be praying for your rainbow sweet angel.
"It was standing in the wreckage, and realizing God had not abandoned me there. He was the reason the walls could no longer lie."
That phrase stands out to me. We all need nourishment and acceptance or we wither inside like a plant with no light or water. The food we need is the love of God, which is complete and perfect. We can't get that from another person unless that person accepts it from God. Broken families are broken spirits trying to get love from other broken spirits not realizing it is love with a small l and not Love that comes from unconditional acceptance that only God can give and which each of us has to receive. Only then can we Love each other and lift each other up, dispel the darkness, reject the ugliness and be the light of the world that we were intended to be.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" - 1 Corinthians
God sent us the perfect example of the perfect Love - Jesus Christ. Get to know Him.
Oh Angel, your words reasonate so deeply. I was married at 17, 3 kids by 23, thought I was trapped forever, and would surely die young. By 30 the hands and deeds of strangers gave me options and different paths to follow. They will, and are doing the same for you.
Angel, please look into Bride Ministries, https://www.bridemovement.com/ . They are an amazing church specialized in helping people who have gone through extreme trauma and abuse. They can help you put words and thoughts to what you have gone through and put you into the process of absolute healing through Jesus. Genuinely good and highly trained people. I do not have such a difficult background, but follow them anyways just because I have learned so much that nobody else is teaching.
WW, I agree wholeheartedly Angel is a gifted writer and definitely deserves to be out from under the abuse and to be on her own! I pray this happens soon.
With that saidā¦ please do your best to keep Lily onboard, if possible, and out of Commie-fornia. She will have nothing but heartbreak and heartburn there! Plusā¦ CF is on the hit list to be destroyed in the not too distant future. We donāt want that sweet young woman out there. Perhaps God has something better for her later onā¦ but for now please keep her on board if you possibly can. I knowā¦ that depends on how many paid subscribers you have.
yeah im trying to talk her out of taking that job. i really hope she doesnāt. i told her āgo out to LA for a week and see what itās really like before you decide anything.ā weāll see what happens.
I spent a couple of weeks out in San Diego one time for job trainingā¦ although a beautiful area, that was enough for me. Traffic was horrendous and I didnāt even get to LA! I-5 was a zooā¦

I used to say that I need to become comfortable with my discomfort. By the way, Iām ninety one and countingā¦..

I've had to live in my truck recently.
It's not fun.
I wish her the best, she'll get through it.
Buy mosquito repellent .
All the things that happen to you in this life makes your life more perfect, more unique.
It may not be fun, it may be painful but it's yours alone.
If I had a highlighter this essay would be glowing.
It's a cheap shot, and sometimes the guy can be brutal, but search "Bukowski quotes" and you may find a little fuel.
