What month is it?

The month of October holds home to many awareness campaigns but there are two that stand out the most to me and that is that it is National Bullying Prevention Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month!

I can not stress enough how important it is to educate your children about both being a bully and how not to be bullied.

Lets face it, people that bully people are everywhere and they come in all shapes and sizes. Its better to teach the children how to cope with, deal and respect others than to have them grow up to be narcissist who think they can do no wrong or worse, someone that gets bullied non stop. 

This is something that has become near and close to my heart since I deal with it every day of my life. PLEASE, make yourself and others around you aware of this and put an end to bullying!


The next is Domestic Violence.  Did you know that 1 in 4 women will experience some sort of DV in their lifetime? I refuse to go into much of what my past life entails but I was a victim BAD, I still to this day am a victim of that abuser but in a different way. He is a deceitful dirty rotten LIAR who I can only pray for changes his way for good and rights his wrongs.
Ladies, if you are a victim GET OUT! I stayed, I stayed because I feared the unknown and thought it was best for my kids and so on and so forth (all the general stories you hear) and I paid DEARLY and now so are my children. Ladies, educate yourself and make a change if you are a victim, there are TONS of resources out there that can help you get out and away from your abuser/abusers. Do NOT protect your abuser because that will result in no help when you finally decide to speak out! And remember, it doesn't always stop once you are out, once they cant lay hands on you anymore that is when the evilness sets in... They will victimize you anyway they can so please stay safe and aware!
