Oh my goodness. This journalling is amazing- your story is heartwtenching, but your style is strong and vibrant. Thank you for sharing, and for letting us witness the courage that your family gets to enjoy every day!
I'm sorry to hear you had to go through so much as a child, no one needs to be treated that way. It's great that you have kids of your own and can love, learn, laugh, and live with peace in your heart. God Bless You
Wow! I'm speechless. This is such a pretty and beautiful page.....I didn't epect such an emotional and painful realization in the journaling. I am glad you've survived and turned it around to have a life of love with your children. Congratulations on being able to create this and make it look so pretty. It's as if you're showing your prince did come and you're living your dreams! Hugs to you!

:(, I am so sorry to hear of your childhood. At least with the children you have and love you can kinda have a somwhat normal childhood with them. I didn't have the best either. My mom worked and my olderest sister raised us. Mom was a single parent for a long time and had to take care of us. I got tied down with a boyfriend when I was 16 and so I didn't really get a teenage life. So now I can do it with my teenager to a point. I love being with her.
Did I forget to mention, this is such an awsome page. I love the colors & the story is so touching.
I am so sorry for the things you had to go through in your childhood and so happy that you have found peace and happiness for yourself now. beautiful lo. ((hugs))
I love that you journaled about the abuse that you suffered. Future generations need to know the bad as well as the good because this is what makes you the person that you are today. Bless you.
Awww Dolores! I'm so sorry that your childhood was like that. But, thank God your are past that and you cherish you children. You ARE a wonderful mother. Especially to your son. you did a fascinating job on the challenge!!
i created this LO for the scrapvivor challenge No photos, journaling promp I have a confession to make I never really... and metal and ribbon I have a confession to make, I never really thought I would live past 15, get married or be a mother. As a child most of the girls my age wanted to be like Cinderella meet Prince Charming get married, have kids and live happily ever after. All I wanted was to live long enough to maybe see that same future. You see my father not only beat my mother sometimes so bad I thought she would die, but he also physically abused my sister and me. I remember when I was 15 he beat me because for the first time I came to my mothers defense. He was literally choking me, and I wanted to die. I wanted him to end it. They say that when your close to death your whole life flashes before you (NOT). What I saw was the future I was not going to have. Well I am alive, am I past the physical abuse (YES), am I past the emotional abuse I’m working on it. It’s hard when all of your young life you’re told you were never really wanted, the only reason I’m alive is because abortion wasn’t legal in 1966. THANK GOD. Am I not worthy of life, Yes I am. My past has made me stronger and I did find Prince Charming and we have 4 wonderful children, and they are so loved. They will never hear those ugly words YOU WERE NOT WANTED. My children are so wanted and I cherish every moment. I never really thought I could be a good mother, but I am. I know this every time I see the look in my children’s eyes. My children will never have to write a confession such as this, because they were conceived in love, brought up by love and they are loved.
