Diana's Healing Message For May

Good morning dear Survivors and Happy Mother's Day!  For some of us we did not have the love of a mother but I am hoping you had a mother figure in your life.  If you did not it is not too late to Mother yourself.  Go out and treat yourself to flowers or something as simple as an ice cream cone and marvel in the beautiful woman or man you have become.  I am so very proud of you and believe in you.

I had a very German mother growing up and not only did i have to deal with the punishment she lavished out but I also had to keep my dad's secret of his abuse to me.  All this as I was growing up but today I can tell you I am probably one of the best mother's a child could ask for and in turn I am now the very proud and loving grandmother of not one but 5 beautiful grandchildren.

My husband marvels in my recovery for as he says I could have become such a bitter person but I vowed I would never treat my children as I was mothered and I have succeeded and then some.  Both my children are happy and well adjusted and beautiful children.  In fact if I hadn't gotten pregnant with my daughter I may have never done the hard work to recover but recover I did.  You too can travel this path to recovery.  We at Courageous Survivors are here to help.  Please reach out.

May this Mother's Day be the first of many where you honor your birth.. you are a marvel.

Happy Mother's Day to all of us.

Love ,

Diana
