Happy One-Year Blogiversary to Me!
Yes, February 15, 2012 was the date of my very first blog post. I started blogging for several reasons. First, I've always enjoyed writing and wanted to prevent my writing skills from getting rusty from disuse. Second, as a new mom, I was very afraid of repeating many of the mistakes I experienced in my childhood, so I decided to use writing to help me better organize my thoughts and better understand myself and my experiences. Finally, I wanted to connect with an online community on the topic of spiritual abuse and add my voice to the discussion that had helped me so much; I hoped that perhaps my story might help other children of fundamentalism to process their experiences and help other parents to avoid making the types of mistakes that I experienced. You, my readers, mean so much to me, and I appreciate the time and thought that goes into each comment even when we disagree. Thank you for reading, thank you for sharing your opinions, thank you for sharing ...
