My starting!

O.K. Here goes,I am  58 years old and am a survivor! I was adopted at 5 years of age and raised an only child the abuse the started then and I lived with it for 40 years of my life. I ran away from home at 16 was put in a institution after a mental breakdown and then at 17 was put in a foster home which I ran away from and put in a place for kids who do stuff like that. After getting out I married at 18 by rebound and had my first child at 19. All this time still suffering abuse.(through 8 kids)  I haven't known what happiness was or is until finally 18 years ago after getting the courage to file for divorce and meeting the man who I am married to now. I have had a hard life and still suffer repucussions from all I lived through but am very thankful that I now have someone who treats me well and tries to do all he can to make me happy!! I started this so I could have a place to turn to when I feel down and need to talk and know that the Goddess will guide me where I need to go. Since turning to withcraft my life has been a lot better. And I have met some of the most wonderful people & made a lot of friends(witchy) ...I love each & everyone of them as if they were my family!!
