I Was a Victim--Now I am a Survivor.

These words have taken me many years to be able to say and I hope that someday no woman will have to say them at all. In the meantime I hope that you or anyone you know will be able to say those same words with strength and self-love.

It was in the summer of 1994 that I was taught about the use and reasons for writing an essay. An essay allows a person to tell about an event or situation that they experienced. This may be simply for entertainment, education, or just wanting to share a part of themselves. Writing an essay can also be very healing in the sense that a person is not restricted to any boundaries and the words and memories can flow onto the paper. Sometimes when a person is traumatized, they have difficulty speaking about what happened to them and writing it can be the only way they can express themselves. The purpose for writing this essay is not for entertainment, but for awareness, education, understanding and as a healing for myself.

Hi my name is Christina, I am now 24 (I created this site back on January 6, 1997) years old and a survivor of childhood sexual abuse(CSA) by multiple perpetrators. I am determined to make this page for my own healing, as well as to help others in understanding that they are never alone. If this page does offer any insight to others as to the effects of childhood sexual abuse, especially offenders, then I will feel greatly rewarded. My story up to now tells every detail I can remember of my experiences as well as the effects they have had on me.

In doing this I hope others will learn to write and journal their experiences as a way to heal and that they realize, that they are the innocent person and should never be blamed for what they could not control. I will always return and update my story every month or so as my healing continues, so please feel free to return here anytime.

PLEASE READ THIS PART!!! Finally I would like to give my sincerest love and thanks most especially to Rebecca, my therapist for every word she has ever spoken to me, for all of her time and compassion, and for always making me feel important when I am with her. I also want to thank Michele B., Kathy E., Kelly, Rose, Joy, Michele A., Donna, and Amy for their continued love and support. I also need especially to thank Dr. Mary, Dr. Lauren & Dr. Elynne(you all know who you are) for being my most favorite MD's that I am fortunate enough to have take care of me, as well as and including Michelle Pfeiffer, Meredith Vieira, Shania Twain, Calista Flockhart, Alex Kingston, Laura Innes, Lara Flynn Boyle, Gillian Anderson, Kim Raver, Melina Kanakaredes, Mariska Hargitay, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristine Lilly, and Julie Foudy for just being the most wonderful people ever that I could admire and adore, they may never see this, but they have done more for me in making me feel better, cared about and loved then they will ever know. I love you all more than you will ever possibly know.
