Her Breaking Point by AuthorOliviaGrace

He had rules for a reason, or thats what he said. I did something wrong I got punished. I spoke out of turn, I got punished. I looked at him or ate without permission, I got punished. Haven thats what they named me funny isn't it? Ironic really. They named me Haven because my mom would say I was her 'Safe Haven'. What a pile of shit that was. She left willingly, she didn't depart because of some tragic accident. My father didn't kill her. She left because she was a coward who didn't want kids. As soon as my older brother went to college she left. I knew she hated me. I was the product of her love with another man. A constant reminder that her life didn't work out the way it was planned. He who ever he was is a phantom in its own. A deep rooted fantasy never going to come true. My brother left, my mother left, my grandma ignored, and my father broke. They let me give up hope on escaping and then decided to play hero. But I haven't forgotten everything I went through. Guilt consumes my brother but I don't care, you don't get to leave and then buy a reprieve of trying to save someone who has been dead for years. Besides lets just be honest I reached my breaking point long ago.

Against All Odds by PhoenixCaleon

What could make one even consider it, when all the odds are stacked against them? Trigger warnings: Sexual assault Sex trafficking Violence

A journey of healing

Scars and Roots: The Whisper of a Broken Past by BakayokoMariamRayana

She was the girl who carried the weight of the past on her shoulders, who endured pain in silence. Now, she is the woman who carries hope instead of pain. She walks with her head held high, smiles with more light, and moves forward with a strength she never knew she had. YOU ARE NOT YOUR CHILDHOOD TRAUMA You are not the pain you have lived through. You are not the wounds that have scarred you. You are the strength you found to rise again, the light you chose to follow, the future you decided to build. Your story is not just what happened to you, but what you choose to become.

Inbetween by Luckyone444

Hello, I don't write to inform you or to show you my life story. I write to show that you can move on from the past and let go. The only way you can move on it is to forgive yourself and the people who have hurt your soul. I write for the damaged, to let them know I see them suffering in silence. This book is about overcoming the hells of life and letting yourself enjoy the good things that you have. I wrote this when I was going through a really hard time in my own life. This book was my safe place. It's a place for me to express my feelings and to be 100% open with myself. I hope this makes you think about what you can do to start healing and how we have an effect on others. Treat yourself kindly, and be gentle.
