It has been a difficult journey obtaining knowledge, wisdom, and understanding about my abuse. I have received several years of professional counseling and family therapy. Those sessions over the years have helped me overcome all the guilt, shame, embarrassment, pain, and suffering that I endured. After a few years, I recognized my abuse was not my fault. I believed because the sins of the fathers created a generational curse over my life. That leads to the abuse of my oldest daughter, and by her baby's father. It is even more tragic that the virus did not just die there. Due to domestic violence, it swallowed my two-year-old grandson into the grave... and has affected my granddaughter, his sister and the only witness, in a way that only abuse can.
