Annie M

Opis

Growing up in a small farming community, Annie thought she had the perfect life and the best parents in the world. As she grew older; however, she began to experience outbursts of rage and beatings from her father and unexplainable behavior from her mother that left her hurt, confused and intensely insecure. Annie developed a crippling fear that would affect her for most of her life. No one knew about PTSD at the time and no one talked openly about bad things that happened in their families. When she left home at 18 to get married, she thought she would find the love and acceptance she had longed for and life would finally be everything she had desired. Her new husband was going to be a minister, and she was excited about this new chapter in her life. Little did she realize the years to come would be full of unfaithfulness, abuse and pain that would leave her and her children devastated and abandoned. Abuse, trauma, humiliation and betrayal can damage us physically, emotionally and mentally and cause us to live with fear, rejection and a loss of our identity. But there is an answer, and Annie found it.
