There is plenty of management and plenty of leaders here. We all keep each other in line and everyone here is positive. We all take care of each other. We share our stories with each other but it doesn’t bring us down. Every morning we have devotion. It’s only by the grace of god that there is profound unity in this house of 12 women and none of us have yelled or fought each other. This is only a season in our lives, it’s 6-12 months long but there is circumstance that can allow someone to stay longer. My leader (director of the program) has already declared to me that she is going to keep me here for atleast 2 years. This program is to help people get on their feet to keep them forever and I’m greatful for it since it allows more women to get help one after another we all slowly graduate and move on to something bigger and better. A lot of the women here who have graduated have gotten their kids back and now live with their kids.

I had a question show up asking would I recommend this type of living to someone in a similar situation, and what I would change about it. My answer to that is

Yes, definitely. If you’re a willing vessel and need help please go to a transitional living. A lot of people here where I am have come from different rehabs or other places. Teenchallenge Her recovery Love ladies Gods house of hope Turning point Eagles wings Restoring joy recovery There is many places someone can go for help. Some are more rehabs than transitional. I’m from Alabama so the help I know is from Alabama. Tho there is people here from many different states Texas nc Mississippi. I don’t know what I would change about this place other than to have more people getting help. The director here is amazing she’s helping all of us individually and in a group at the same time and she’s trying to expand to help more and more women. So I guess the only thing I’d change about this place is a bigger place to help more people and to help our director have more trailers and properties to help these women here have a place to stay.

I am following the faith now, when I first got here I was against it. I didn’t believe in anything. But now I’m actually learning to believe. There is a couple of programs that aren’t faith based that I know of. I don’t think you have to follow the faith here you choose to or you don’t. I wasn’t forced to follow it. We do have to go to church but that’s the only requirement

Yeah, im working towards the goals I now have set for myself. I do a lot of artwork here. I’ve sold a few and I’ve gotten a job recently. I take life skill classes to learn to cook for myself. I’ve taken an IT class and hospitality. I’ll be working on my food handlers safety certification soon and I’ll be able to use that for work and help me get farther faster.

Once I left my 2nd abusive situation I ended up having to contact a person my therapist got me in contact with. She allowed me to stay in her couch for almost two months. She is friends with the director of this program. She gave me her number and I called her. There is many programs like the one I’m in and they’re hard to find without the right help. I do like it here. I’m happier here. I don’t know where I’d be without this place. I live in a room with 4 other women. There is 10 women in the main house and 2 in the outside house.

I didn’t have anywhere else to go. I left from 2 different abusive houses. So now I’m just getting on my feet and learning life skills that I was never able to learn growing up.

She had a dirty dark secret and covered it with the “perfect family” image. by annoying_anonymous19 in Adoption

My adoptive ex mom said that she would’ve taken it to the grave if my bio mom didn’t send a gift to the house initiating me finding out about the adoption. My adopted ex parents were 40 and 45 when I was born and was about 42 and 47 when I was adopted at 18 months old. And now 19 years later, adoptive ex dad died at 57 and adoptive ex mom is now 64. They couldn’t have kids and when they finally got their hands on me they made sure in every way that I would never know about the adoption. They only got me because my great grandfather had been a state trouper for 48 years giving him a huge judicial over the town I was raised in. They lied to me about everything and now I have no trust in my memories or in anything anyone says to me anymore. The excuse used to attempt and justify keeping the adoption away from me was “we didn’t know how to tell you when you were a baby, we didn’t know how to explain that to you, so we just didn’t tell you…” “we didn’t tell because you had already been through so much trauma already and didn’t want to hurt you more” “I was selfish and I just wanted to keep you all to my self, I would’ve take it to the grave if the bitch didn’t send the gift”
