WOW!
It's been a wild ride the past two months! Finally all settled into my new place. Still aquiring household items, summer is a great time to have moved! Lawn sales, moving sales, garage sales, Craigslist...you can find some pretty awesome treasures!
It took awhile to get my internet, but I am up and running now!
New found freedom! all I can say is WOW!!! it feels pretty awesome! Independence that I have never had. Yes I have been away from my parents for a long time. And then moved back in with my mother after my step father passed away. Which was more of a healing process than anything else. I wouldn't trade that time I spent there with her, for anything! When I moved out, it was joyful and sad. She helped me in so many ways. The first weekend I was here in my new apt. she helped me with the last bit of moving and spent the afternoon here with me unpacking. At one point she poured 2 margaritas and took my hand leading me out to my back deck, to sit in the sun with her. She had bought me a gift. It was actually for her and I. She had purchased a gift set of two toe rings. One for her and one for me. It was to symbolize our freedom. When I moved out, it was the first time that BOTH of us have been on our own! She had always been married, or had kids. First time for my mother, at 60. and the first time for me, at 40. Something that could have been very sad, we turned into a triumph~!
I am not very far from her, about 4 miles. So we are keeping up with the closeness that we found while I lived with her. We both know what a gift we have been given and we will not take it for granted. I have found my mother and she found her daughter. That is a priceless gift, that I will treasure forever.
I have been out of her house for a month and a half now. She is still buying trinkets for me. Things that I admired and used in her kitchen. She has bought me. Something as simple as a hand crank can opener that opens the can but dulls the edges on the can top. LOL She is always thinking about me, and when I go shopping for something that I need at my new place...if I find a dragon fly of any sort, I get it for her. I don't think that any mother and daughter that I know of have the bond that my mother and I share now.
We have overcome so much. Together and apart. We have both been through a tremendous amount in our lives. And this is our time to smile, have fun, have a BBQ, drink and be merry, or just giggle over a cup of morning coffee and laugh at the simplicity of our pets playing, (her cat and my little dog). Which by the way, we have to share my little dog, because both Mom and her cat miss my little Skeeter! LOL just something else that strengthens the relationship...
Thank you Mom for all you have done for me and continue to do! I love you!
So, I want you to LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE to the fullest. I have said it before, but I really mean it and it is really words to live by...
LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE!!

feeling wonderful!
OMG! today was a really awesome day! I overcame a fear that I have had for a very long time. A fear of being alone... I signed a lease on my very own apartment! I feel incredible ! I am sooooooo excited! LOL 40 yrs old and I am finally getting out on my own. I'm spreading my wings. I have been on a high all day! Who knew? Who knew that this simple thing, in some people's eyes, could make a person feel so free! I even get to keep my loving companion, my prince, my shih tzu. Opening a new chapter in Ashley's journey. The best is yet to come!! NO ONE TO CONTROL ME! That is priceless!! Looking forward to un packing my storage unit this weekend and especially looking forward to a day with my mom! We are going shopping! Shopping for my new "pad"!! :-)

PTSD
PTSD is not only for the veteran of war. Soldiers are not the only ones that go through this. Any trauma, can leave you with the effects of this. It affects you in so many ways. Please read on to learn more.
PTSD
Help
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a type of anxiety disorder. It can occur after you've seen or experienced a traumatic event that involved the threat of injury or death.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may occur soon after a major trauma, or it can be delayed for more than 6 months after the event. When it occurs soon after the trauma, it usually gets better after 3 months. However, some people have a longer-term form of PTSD, which can last for many years.
PTSD can occur at any age and can follow a natural disaster such as a flood or fire, or events such as war, a prison stay, assault, domestic abuse, or rape. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in the United States may have caused PTSD in some people who were involved, in people who saw the disaster, and in people who lost relatives and friends. These kinds of events can produce stress in anyone, but not everyone develops PTSD.
The cause of PTSD is unknown, but psychological, genetic, physical, and social factors are involved. PTSD changes the body’s response to stress. It affects the stress hormones and chemicals that carry information between the nerves (neurotransmitters). Having been exposed to trauma in the past may increase the risk of PTSD.
Having good social support helps to protect against PTSD. In studies of Vietnam veterans, those with strong support systems were less likely to get PTSD than those without social support.
People with PTSD re-experience the event again and again in at least one of several ways. They may have frightening dreams and memories of the event, feel as though they are going through the experience again (flashbacks), or become upset during anniversaries of the event.People with PTSD re-experience the event again and again in at least one of several ways. They may have frightening dreams and memories of the event, feel as though they are going through the experience again (flashbacks), or become upset during anniversaries of the event.
Symptoms of PTSD fall into three main categories:
1. Repeated "reliving" of the event, which disturbs day-to-day activity
There are no tests that can be done to diagnose PTSD. The diagnosis is made based on a certain set of symptoms that continue after you've had extreme trauma. Your doctor will do psychiatric and physical exams to rule out other illnesses.Treatment aims to reduce symptoms by encouraging you to recall the event, express your feelings, and gain some sense of control over the experience. In some cases, expressing grief helps to complete the necessary mourning process. Support groups, where people who have had similar experiences can share their feelings, are helpful.
People with PTSD may need to treat depression, alcohol or substance abuse, or related medical conditions before addressing symptoms of PTSD. Behavioral therapy is used to treat avoidance symptoms. This can include being exposed to the object that triggers your symptoms until you become used to it and no longer avoid it (called graded exposure and flooding).
Medicines that act on the nervous system can help reduce anxiety and other symptoms of PTSD. Antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine (Prozac), can be effective in treating PTSD.
A number of other medicines used for mental health disorders may be prescribed. A doctor should monitor you if you take these drugs, because they can have side effects. Sedatives can help with sleep disturbance. Anti-anxiety medicines may be useful, but some types, such as benzodiazepines, can be addictive.You can find more information about post-traumatic stress disorder and coping with a national tragedy from the American Psychiatric Association -- www.psych.org.The best outcome, or prognosis, depends on how soon the symptoms develop after the trauma, and on how quickly you get diagnosed and treated.Although traumatic events like the September 11 tragedy can cause distress, not all feelings of distress are symptoms of PTSD. Talk about your feelings with friends and relatives. If your symptoms last longer, or are worse, than those of your friends, contact your doctor.
Seek help immediately by going to the emergency room or calling the local emergency number (such as 911) if:
Research into ways to prevent PTSD is ongoing.

summer is finally here...
Summer is finally here! Sunshine, humidity and thunderstorms...Flowers are in bloom, the hummingbirds are at the feeders...I love this time of year!! I could sit on the deck with my coffee all morning and not get bored! The sounds of the birds in the morning when the sun is coming up over the horizon. Basking in the rays of the sun, energizing you and kissing your pale skin from the winter months...Mmm, yep, it's a beautiful time of year, it's my favorite time of year. Driving home from work at night and seeing the sunset over the mountain range. Despite the depression that rears its ugly head, it sure is a sweet time of year to be in a great mood. I love the sun! And if I hadn't fled from those hands that hurt me, I wouldn't be here to enjoy it! It's the simple pleasures that you forget about in the day to day busy-ness of LIFE! Stop to smell the flowers and the fresh cut grass. Stop and look up at the sky on a sunny day, do you see any billowy clouds? Pull up a blanket on the lawn and lay down, watch the clouds drift by. Just dream for a little while, be a kid again, dream of floating on that cloud above. Find the silly shapes they make in the sky, take time to enjoy it!

I too have these feelings...
I too have these feelings that she does. Certain smells, movies, tv shows...there are so many things that remind me of a nightmare that I once lived. I do things that he absolutely would not let me do. I get such satisfaction out of it! I really do! Many times I love to be home and not have the tv on! Cause it had to always be on and quiet so he could watch HIS shows. But there are other times that I love to have the tv on, because I can actually have control of the remote! without someone coming in and grabbing it out of my hand to change the channel.
Yesterday on my way to work...I was stopping at my "favorite" gas station to grab a cold iced tea. Waiting for traffic so I could turn, I saw the parking lot was full and there was a guy I caught out of the corner of my eye. IT WAS MY EX HUSBAND. I sat there for a minute, still waiting on traffic. There was so much traffic I said to heck with it and went down the road and got gas where it was cheaper. As if there was a lightbulb that was turned on over my head, I went back to that store that I love going to, I like the people that run it. I decided, I wasn't going to allow him to drive me away from my routine!! Hell no! I pulled in so that he knew I was there. I went in and did my business and went out the door where he could see me. I went back to my jeep and carried on with my day. He had been standing there shootin' the $hit with someone. I didn't look at him or give him the time of day. But I was not going to let him intimidate me! OH HELL NO!!
Although, as I drove away I started to shake. So many fears of the past inside me, came alive. I battled with it all day. And I was so angry with myself for letting it happen. I guess I truly am not over my PTSD. But...I AM VERY PROUD OF MYSELF - for going back to that store. A year ago I would not have done that. I am getting stronger and every day is better in some small way.
My best friend is always telling me to face my fears. That task was done to the fullest all in those 20 or so minutes yesterday. I hope that he is proud of that big step that I leaped into.

courage
I have a new friend...She is a victim as well. I really think that she has and is going through way worse than I could imagine. She has courage like no other I have ever known. She lacks self esteem, but she shouldn't! She is amazing to be continuing on! I hope that when she looks in the mirror she finally sees what she has portrayed on her blog. She is strong! She is a trooper. Check out her blog...this is one of her latest postings

another birthday...
Well, another birthday has come and gone...big mile marker. A few weeks ago, as the day was approaching, I felt as if my armageddon was coming. LOL - not so. Life goes on after you turn 40. It's silly how we can think sometimes. It felt like just another day, nothing spectacular, nothing catastrophic. Just a day older and perhaps wiser.
But, on the flip side I am very greatful. I'm still here, alive and kicking. Kicking and screaming. Laughing till I almost pee my pants. Smiling at lives little jokes. Still wishing upon that shooting star. And still loving to my fullest ability. Going into my sixth year of "freedom" from the domestic violence and I am happy to be out from under it. There was a time that I wished it all would stop, that a big rock would fall on me...that lightening would strike. If not me, my abuser. Just so as I could live without fear, live without feeling like the scumbag I was made out to be. But guess what?! I'm NOT a scumbag, I'm NOT a piece of crap! I deserve to be happy and NOT live in fear. I am a human being. Breathing, feeling, thinking thoughts that are my own. I do have a brain and it is no longer "washed".
I have learned many things over the last forty years and that learning curve will never stop. I am wiser. I hope that I have learned enough to be able to teach others. Share my experiences - the good and the bad. I want others to benefit from my pain and suffering. That will make it all worth it.
So here is a bit of advice for you, some thoughts of today...LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE! Live your life like it is your last day. Laugh even if it isn't funny to someone else. Even if you do not like the place you go to spend eight hours of your day. Laugh. Laugh. Laugh. It really is the best medicine. When you haven't had much laughter and finally find things funny and amusing... LAUGH! It feels wonderful! And LOVE. Love to the fullest. Spend time with those you love and treasure.
I spent the morning with my mother yesterday. We went to breakfast and giggled and giggled. I didn't want the morning to end, and as I was settling in at my desk at work, I recv'd a call. It was my mother. She was still giggling and thanked me for a really good time and told me to tell my boss I needed the day off. Because she wasn't ready for it to end either. Grab those moments and keep them in that photo album in your mind. Remember the look on their face when they are laughing so hard that the tears are rolling down their face. That... Was a wonderful birthday present.
As life sometimes gets in the way, and we get busy...Take the time to spend with your loved ones. Near or far. Make the most of it all. Stay in touch, even if it is on Facebook. It is a connection. It bridges the miles that keep you apart.
LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE!!

Happy Mother's Day!
Today should be a day of relaxing. A day to remember. A day to cherish. Being a mom is the best job ever. Today is OUR day. We do so many things for our kids. They don't even have a clue, until they are parents themselves. Only then can parenthood be appreciated. You do not even need to be a mother for it to be Happy Mother's Day. You can be a friend, an aunt, your brother's wife, your dad's girlfriend...anyone that is nurturing to you in some way, can be wished a happy day today. Remember those women you love and those that have taken that ticket to heaven. They are watching down on you today and remembering you as well.
Love to the fullest...
Have a wonderful day!
Love to the fullest...
Have a wonderful day!

Survivor...
...Hold me close and say you love me, then you go, push & shove me!
What have I done, what did I do? If people just really knew, that would be the end of you! You lie, you cheat and hold your head up high. Please God, just make him die! I am better, you just can't take it. My small arm you try and break it! But guess what you big bully, I'm still standing! On my feet I am landing! Looking back I have to wonder, who it was that stole your thunder? A petty man with no honor, hit a man and you would be a goner! Guess what Bud, I'm still here, someday, it will be me you fear!
