When I came home she treated me like she was scared of me - and I didn't even say anything. I was kind of floored. I think that was the beginning of me getting my confidence back in my early 20's.AimeeLSalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763596557256341788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622477097361465.post-42044150365505615632013-10-16T04:03:21.020-07:002013-10-16T04:03:21.020-07:00Bravo for sharing!

I, too, was a victim of bullying throughout high school. It was SO bad they nicknamed me "Carrie." Those days are long behind me but I've never forgotten them. I think they're another reason I ended up in an abusive marriage as well. I was used to being beaten down. Now, I draw on God's strength. I've learned I'm a good person and that's what counts. I forgave those who hurt me but I don't put myself out there for others to do so anymore. I'm loving, don't get me wrong. But also cautious. It's funny. I just had this discussion with my kids this morning. God loves everybody, no matter how different. It's not right, not fair to be punished for this. There are, unfortunately, evil people in the world who live to torture others. We have to survive them, to blot out what their hate does to others. Together, we can make a stand!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622477097361465.post-51240169015389868652013-10-15T03:50:18.043-07:002013-10-15T03:50:18.043-07:00I too suffered similar horrors to what you did whe...I too suffered similar horrors to what you did when I was in junior high school and like you I too wrote a book about it. You're right, it does get better but like a knife wound, the wound heals but the scar remains. <br />Could you tell me the title of your book? I would like to check it out. My book is called He Was Weird. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622477097361465.post-70575489892069634902013-10-14T20:29:02.070-07:002013-10-14T20:29:02.070-07:00Thanks, Debra!
