The battle of the Blogs continue…and I wonder what its real agenda is? What is the real meat of the discontentment and why does it really matter who writes what or if at all.
What I have found upon writing period, whether it be on a blog or not, is that if you write long enough, the truth will emerge…like magic. If you want to know the answers, writing it out seems to straighten out the mind, so you can find a trail.
In my pursuit of my own truth writing was and is my greatest tool.
I write to understand me.
In writing I have learned a huge amount about me. It has been a conversation between me and myself and I have shared this by putting it out in blog form.
Due my history which I can't escape from, I write from the viewpoint of my history. I am a woman who was raised in a very strict religion and was raped by my father.
The affects of having grown up in that environment changed who I was…it altered me, tilted me, put me on an awkward slant. It had me seeing the world as a woman with a mental disease.
Where abuse was a 'normal' life.
My writings have been to right me.
To untilt my beliefs.
To see what abuse touched and to straighten out my mind.
I write to see clearly, that which I am not able to see.
I have learned what the affects have done to me and what I passed on to my children.
I have learned how I left abuse…how I operated with my life due to this backwards start.
My blog is a public document of my private struggle.
Having lived for 46 year so disingenuously, my razor sharp focus now is to be impeccable with my word and to follow them with actions of the same. I aim to walk my talk.
I know the cost of not facing my truth…so it is my intent to now live my truth as I know it. And along the way point out things that I feel are off for me.
When they are off or don't seem quite right….I move away. In the past, I may have stayed out of fear of reprisals, but not any more. Fear doesn't keep me frozen unable to change as life dictates.
I love that I am free to support a blog and then free to change my mind. I love that others are free to read and then free not to read. I love that they are free to agree or not agree. Free to comment or not.
Blogging is indeed another vehicle of communication…what you say when you speak is up to you. If you want to communicate with certain blogs, again up to you. Or if you want to silently ride along, that too is up to you.
My blog tends to push buttons, for it is delving into sacred grounds that are typically unchallenged and usually not aired out in public. I am putting myself out there for anyone to take potshots and they do. I am shining lights upon subjects, people and beliefs that some fear to have disclosed. I totally understand that I am breaking the unwritten rules.
I am not being passive and apathetic or pleasing to get along…I am willing to share my life experiences, coming from whence I came….and talking about the two very influential life changing forces…Abuse and Religion… Two hot button subjects.
I make no apologies…or step softly around items that I know will explode if I dare oppose. I step anyway.
Abuse thrives due to walking quietly around it, by whispering instead of putting it out where all can see.
I have been convicted in the family court for knowing and saying nothing….I will not make that same mistake again. If I know, If I feel, If I suspect….I will share.
Tom Rosemergy is the first person I tell when I hear a new name.
When I discover a new truth, it usually arrives on the blog. This has been my vehicle to be an open book to read…for in the past, I was way too silent.
In the past my silence was a vehicle that abuse used.
Again, there are very few blogs about abuse within the FALC, or ex-members talking candid about their experiences, it isn't always easy to discern the value each blog has.
My blog will not be of value to those who are in support of the church. My blog will not be of value for those who are not victims of abuse. My blog will not be of value for those who want to remain in toxic relationships.
Certainly there will be voyeurs into my life, who then go on and use it to disparage me…who will turn it with their own minds. I can't control how other people see me.
What I have found is that when I am comfortable with my truth, you can't use my truth against me.
