" Childhood

   So many children live this horriable life, I know back in my young life the pain that myself and other three siblings did not deserve the torture we were destined to live with. People knew but kept to their selves, teachers seen the welps and bruises constantly on our bodies. My stepmother could think up some of the most horrifying things to do to each one of us. Nightmares was a constant companion  for us. But we survived and put that part of our lives away, and it didn't effect our parenting at all.  But some children can not get away from the nightmares and my heart goes out to them in prayers that they find inner peace.

Thank you for your kind words, 
When it comes to an abused child or abused animals, I become extremely infuriated and my temper gets the best of me. It's just that they are so innocent and defenseless.
