Girls, Don't Ever Let A Man Bring You Down!!!

   Okay girls, young women, etc. This is a very serious subject that is close to my heart. Almost my entire adult life, I have depended on a man in some way or another. Even though I am college-educated and had a 3.75 G.P.A., I never earned a college degree. Except for maybe 3 months where I lived in Grand Junction, Colorado, I have always lived with, and been dependent upon a man.
   Girls, it is SO not worth it!!! When your finances and privileges depend on your "guy's" mere whim, you are helpless, a puppet in his marionette, a spider in the midst of his web, you are NEVER really free. Most of my life, I have been dependent upon a guy. It's not all peaches and cream...
   There is a sense of self-worth and an inner confidence that one acquires when one can prove to themselves that they have an inner strength.
   No female wants to be made to feel inferior, stupid, or less than adequate...like they never (no matter how hard they try), measure up. A woman's self-esteem is very fragile. We as females, so much more than males, need support and encouragement in our lives. It is essential to mental and emotional health.
   For you women whom think you have nowhere to turn, no escape route, no way out, no path to salvation, I am here to tell you that THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY OUT!!! There is always an easier, softer way. It may be more difficult and treacherous but morally it is just "right", and you will be able to sleep better late at night.
   YOUR SOUL IS THE ONE THING YOU CAN'T COMPROMISE!!!! Enough said!!!
   Now if you have a child, the emancipation of your soul is even more prudent. It is not just you whom you are living for. You now have dependents, who are completely dependent on you. It is your job now as a mother, to be a good example for these young souls. They look up to you, you are their greatest teacher in life, so you better set a darn good example for them!!!
   Abuse, and I mean ANY abuse, is completely unacceptable. Physical abuse should NEVER be tolerated!!!
However, verbal abuse is far worse, in my opinion. Verbal abuse hits one emotionally and psychologically in a way that physical abuse can't even vaguely touch.
   So girls, there IS help out there. There are shelters, there is government help ( as well as private) and grants out there... don't be afraid to ask for help or seek out redemption.
   You my young lady, are special, beautiful, and intelligent---DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENT!!! Believe in yourself first and those in turn will follow suit and believe in you. YOU DON'T NEED A MAN!!! You are fabulous being single! Plus it gives you time to really reconnect, really get to know yourself!!!
   Remember honey, you are a QUEEN, treat yourself as such....And don't let ANYONE tell you that you that you aren't beautiful...
