Having a voice


Far too often, victims of abuse feel like they don't have a voice. They keep quiet about the pain they are in. They suffer alone. I know I did. There are times where I fall back into that pattern.

You do have a voice. I have a voice.

I am careful not to name my abusers, but I will not be silent about what they did to me. No longer will I hide in shame because of THEIR actions. Yes, I may have made some poor decisions, but that did not give them permission.

Mending Hearts is about giving back that voice. It doesn't matter what type of situation you have been in. If you are feeling lost, alone, hurt - you are home. You no longer have to go through it alone.
