I had repressed the abuse I suffered in my childhood for decades, and it was taking a toll on my life. I couldn't hardly function from day to day because of the flashbacks I was experiencing. I was reliving the torment in my mind over and over again. It wasn't until I faced what happened to me and walked through the darkness, and that is when I found the light at the end of the tunnel. There is a light at the end of every tunnel. You just have to walk through it!
Book Excerpt
Silent No More
It was like pieces of my past were flashing before my eyes, but I could not put it all together. It was so terrifying to have to relive something that was lost to my soul. It seemed to me that the past has become the present over and over again. I was faced with unceasing fear and forced to live in isolation.
