WEATHERING THE STORM
Some would say you could never recover from Domestic Violence; they haven't me me I am a survivor of alot and
have recovered from it all. It takes time and you have to truly reintroduce yourself to yourself. Why do I say that?
Well while you are being abused, the person whose abusing you is stripping you of self so that they can feel important
in your life; to the point that you don't even care about the abuse that you are enduring it's actually okay to you as
long as you have someone in your life; its better then being alone. I'm sorry but the lies they have told you while you
were them are all lies i tell you they are all lies.
I use AKIMALYAH for a reason; While writing my first book I was told that Unspoken was already used by a publisher.
So I prayed and asked God to give me a name that would benefit both male and female. Thus AKIMALYAH means
Always Knowing Important Men And Ladies You Are Here. That means ladies and gentleman, you boys and girls
you are important don't ever allow anyone to tell you otherwise. You might be getting abused by an parent who was
abused; even though it's your parent you are still important. Your parent just have to be reminded that they didn't like
the abuse when they were receiving it so they shouldn't pass it on to another, such as yourself. Everybody is important in
this world.
RECOVERY
Recovery is not an easy process especially when we are not ready to face the
situation that we are trying to avoid; For the pain is too great for us to deal with
it. So we use different methods to knumb the feeling. I never have done alcohol
or drugs of any kind but I know from experiencve the process by which you have
to recover from something.
I never used the above but I have used other methods to try and hide from the fact
that i was truly hurting on the inside. Since I have been labled as being the strong one
in the family have basically allowed me to put up this strong wall that has been
hard to break down for over 27 years.
This book came about because I still allow healing to be a part of my life I have to
admit that I am recoveirg from something.
