Reaching that point is a powerful moment. When we realize, I am more than the very bad thing that happened to me."Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086740613832715808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16747793.post-60863756496124950452009-05-28T11:32:27.133-05:002009-05-28T11:32:27.133-05:00I came over from Violence Unsilenced. I'm one ...I came over from Violence Unsilenced. I'm one of the woman who told my story, "Indigo Ravenwood". <br /><br />Every time the story is told it opens a wound inside, yet on so many levels it's not pain it's irrigated with compassion and understanding...this is how you heal. <br /><br />I'm in the process of writing my own memoir. Not necessarily for me, rather to answer all those questions so many have. The question of "Why did you stay?". I hope when all is said and done maybe those who didn't/couldn't understand would get an inkling of the 'why'. <br /><br />Learning to live in a world of sane normals can be just as frightening on some level as the violence itself. However only one will leave you alive. <br /><br />Thank you for what you're doing with the Q&A sessions. Me? I carry printed cards with my SOS shelter and the hotline on them. Sometimes you only get one chance to pass that on and hope like hell.
