It’s been too long since I’ve posted on my site.  God has been opening doors for me and answering prayers and for that I am so thankful!  I have been busy writing for two other family sites and I encourage you to check them out.  http://www.upliftingfamilies.com  and wwwfamilyfusioncommunity.com.

In my latest post on familyfusion, I open up about verbal and emotional abuse. 

“Verbal affirmation:  That is my love language.  I don’t really remember when words became so important to me.  I remember writing my first song when I was in the 4th grade.  I wrote songs and poetry in high school and even had a poem published in a creative writing publication through the school. 

I do remember, however, when words started to hurt, when words felt like fists, when words changed me for the rest of my life.  That is what verbal abuse will do to you.  It leaves you in deep pain, beaten, and defeated.  “I love you, so I’m going to tell you all that is wrong with you! Everyone else, your friends and co-workers, they think the same things about you that I’m saying.  They just don’t love you enough to tell you.” I heard that day after day.  Words and more words just chipping away at my lonely soul.  Oh if only I had really known by heart Proverbs 18:2 “Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.” (That’s a good one and pretty much describes a verbal abuser.)”
