The Abuser Isn't More Privileged!

LA was less than eight years of age when it all began. At that time, she never thought the pain would ever end. That someday what she was going through would come to a halt and become a thing of her past. Her past... Ever pondered on how things happen to us and it feels we would never survive the situation? Yer, we are in the same boat. But you did come out of that situation didn't you? Or maybe you are still in that situation. Remember the famous saying 'what wouldn't kill you would only make you stronger'. If you had told LA that years ago she would have told you that's impossible, or better still, she would have said the person was out of her mind. Sometimes it's difficult to agree that the mess you went through {or are going through} would later become your message. Your mess over the ages- a period of time, becomes your message. LA's abuser weighed nothing less than 300pounds {136.4kg}, while she herself weighed nothing more than 70pounds {31.8kg}. Shocked? Yes she did survive it, it was hard...the days she couldn't breathe, and the nights she cried.

LA is just one out of numerous people who have been abused {or are being abused}. Your abuser is not more privileged than you are. Given the situation, it seems the abuser possesses more power than his or her victim, but you can't allow your abuser take advantage of that. You are more powerful than you can imagine. You can free yourself from whatever abusive situation you might have found yourself in. For those who are still hanging on to their past, you can set yourself free by taking control of the situation: That's what determines your victory over an abusive situation. When someone is abused and the individual doesn't let go of such tragic event, the individual is allowing the abuser have a hold over him or her. Subsequently, men suffer abuse just as women suffer abuse. Difference is, the number of abused women are higher than abused men. More so, very few abused individuals open up about their situations. Telling someone {not just anyone}, someone who you trust helps. Most importantly, you have to know that you are not alone, and there are people who God has placed around you to be of help. There are also services available to help people who have been abused.

You've been abused doesn't mean you are worthless. It doesn't make you a weakling. You only become a weakling if you allow the situation take complete control over your life. If you allow that, then depression sets in and if care is not taken, you begin to contemplate suicide. You are greater than that, your potentials can't lay to waste because you've once suffered abuse! Moreover you are wonderfully and fearfully made. If you don't put your potentials to use who would? If you allow your abuser have a hold over you then you aren't living your life. As a result, it becomes difficult to see the greatness in you. It's time to take control of every abusive situation and relationship. Your reviews and comments are appreciated. Take care and hope to see you around next week. Au Revoir!
