Today, I was thinking of the day that my abuser was taken into custody {on a charge that had nothing to do with my abuse}, I remember how deeply I thanked God. The freedom I felt! Our testimony really helps others to know that they aren't alone. I'm so grateful that God was able to use me that way.<br /><br />I hope all is well with you and your family. Your commentary is always appreciated. God Bless You! <br /><br />Much Luv<br />~BC~The Brooklyn Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673466547337519344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-30888887366244619132014-04-01T12:59:00.909-07:002014-04-01T12:59:00.909-07:00No problem, B.

I apologize to bot...Dear My_Expressions & Don:<br /><br />I apologize to both of you because I wrote this post so long ago that I no longer receive the comment alerts. I want to thank each of you for taking the time to read my story. I experience such a warm feeling of humility and humbleness when readers take the time to read and connect. My_Expressions, I'm glad that you were able to recognize the verbal abuse in your situation and that you were able to get out. A man that belittles a woman and shows insecurities with regard to who she speaks to, is a man that needs to be alone. <br /><br />Many of these men need help, counseling/therapy and some just need a crash course in maturity. My situation was more dangerous and my abuser really did have deep emotional issues that I saw early and made excuses for. Some women find themselves in grave danger before they realize that they need to get out. If it is ever God's will for me to speak to women struggling with Domestic Violence, I would be glad to. The signs can be easily overlooked because we naturally tend to second guess ourselves as human beings. All the Glory & Grace goes to God for freeing me from the hands of that situation. I learned so much as a result and I would never put myself in anything even remotely close. May God Continue to Bless and Keep each of you. Your kind words keep me inspired!<br /><br />Much Luv,<br />~BC~The Brooklyn Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673466547337519344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-54125851625014656372013-12-23T19:49:49.280-08:002013-12-23T19:49:49.280-08:00God has blessed you because you survived a horribl...God has blessed you because you survived a horrible experience that many women don't get a chance because their abusers do kill them. I'm sorry you had to go thru that and I see that it has made you stronger. To be able to share such a story shows growth and yes it will help someone who may be going thru the same thing. I can identify with alot that yiu wrote because I feel as though I was a victim of emotional abuse. I too could not be friends with another man. I believed the belittling remarks and I actually believed that I wasn't going to find better if I left. I didn't realize how blind I was until I got out of the situation. Nobody can really say how abuse is until they experience for themselves. Great post and it actually almost made me cry because I can identify with some of the stuff written. God bless you and so glad you're well and healthy now.My_Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546202681771696890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-75165746644606672152013-12-23T12:25:57.604-08:002013-12-23T12:25:57.604-08:00Wow...powerful, powerful story.

Thank you for such kind words. I...Hey Lateesha:<br /><br />Thank you for such kind words. I'm a firm believe that the strength of a woman cannot be measured. We are so much stronger than we will ever know and just like your mom I teach my daughters the same. My main focus here is to stay relevant. Writing is therapeutic for me but I'm not doing this for myself. I have lived through some tough things yet my stuggles have yet to defeat me and stress and I stopped hanging out a long time ago. I'm at a point in my life where I'm at total peace and God has let me know that it's time for me to open my mouth and share my experiences. What good are they tucked away? My past doesn't define me but if my story can help anyone else than I know I'm providing a service directly to God. I'm living for today and I hope my readers will stick with me because I will always put 100% into what I do here. The 2nd part to that story will be up soon I just don't want to overwhelm anyone just yet. Chat with you soon.<br /><br />Much Luv<br />~BC~The Brooklyn Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673466547337519344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-27480429086643382462010-07-01T19:08:15.036-07:002010-07-01T19:08:15.036-07:00Bc,you had me on the edge of my seat reading your ...Bc,you had me on the edge of my seat reading your story.I must say Bravo to you for being alive to talk about it today.God is good girl.<br />I witnessed my mom go through a similar story like yours and many more with my dad and it was definitley not a good look. However, my mom always taught me to be strong;something she never had the courage to be.<br />I'm loving your blog and everything you have to say. Your a voice for today's women. The realistic topics you write about are so relative in today's society.Keep up the good work; it's needed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307197667008728743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-66980705970774243872010-06-25T16:28:03.604-07:002010-06-25T16:28:03.604-07:00Dear Sparkl8297:

I appreciate my readers comments so much because it keeps pushing me forward to take my place. God and I have made peace and I finally know that it's time to take my place. I want to reach out and touch humanity. I want to be a place of refuge and a good laugh here and there (I think I'm quite funny too lol). The blog will be a lot of my personal accounts but I promise to keep it fresh and fun for my readers as well. Life is all about balance. I Love You all and I know none of you! That's the type of Love that's stamped all in God. My experiences (many worse than what I've shared thus far) all make sense to me 33 years into my journey. It all makes sense now! I cried as I walked up the train steps to my day job yesterday morning. I cried for a number of reasons Sparkl8297, I have never felt closer to God in my entire life. He has been showing me signs all week that I can no longer ignore. My days at my day job are coming closer and closer to an end. My feeling that God has other plans for me are becoming more and more evident each day. Thank you again and keep me in your prayers as I will you! I pray that many will be called to safety as a result as well. See you soon and stay tuned...<br /><br />~BC~The Brooklyn Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673466547337519344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-79008825788634659582010-06-25T13:45:23.694-07:002010-06-25T13:45:23.694-07:00BC you have impeccable writing skills. Thank you ...BC you have impeccable writing skills. Thank you for sharing your life experiences, not too many people are willing to share on this deep level. I was drawn to your story as if it were some type of dramatization, but at the same time I was giving myself a reality check knowing this was someone who had really gone through this. There is nothing dramatic about CDV, on the contrary it is often times very traumatic and its affects are far reaching for the entire family. I pray that your story touch someone and penetrate their very being. May the Lord use your voice as a vehicle to carry many to safety. You definitely have a call on your life, you may not be seeking benefits but you will you be blessed in a mighty way to extend yourself far to an audience that need to hear you. I know you will keep it real, keep it up front and personal. You can relate because you been there. Your talent is natural that why I know I know you were called to do what you are doing. Keep writing and I will keep reading.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447542738191395413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-26801099807298227092010-06-24T17:19:22.015-07:002010-06-24T17:19:22.015-07:00Dear Mocha, thank you for writing such a lovely co...Dear Mocha, thank you for writing such a lovely comment and thank you for the blessings. Your comment comes on such a special day in my life. I think you were led to my blog by a power much greater than you and I. Today was the 1st day in nearly 33 years that my entire life makes sense.<br /><br />On June 24, 1990, my writing was featured in The New York Times after I won an essay contest sponsored by the YMCA. The essay contest had 75 contestants within the Tri-State Area and the question was centered around why inner city kids should be afforded the opportunity to attend Summer Camp for free. I was just shy of 13 years-old and I spoke for me and every other kid living in a New York City Housing Project. (I will post the article tonight).<br /><br />I received the article sent to me in the mail by my mom yesterday evening when I walked in from work. The article is 20 years-old today!!! God is Amazing!! Mocha, writing has always been my passion in life. I pray with you that I am able to continue touching others. I also pray that I continue to have the strength to believe in my writing abilities. I promise you that I will take my writing to the next level because I'm moving in God's time. As I see the vision, I share the vision.<br /><br />At ths moment, the blog is my baby and I will nuture it and continue inspiring my readers. The struggles that I have overcome have been unbelievably difficult but my dear we are still both standing! Thank you for reading and welcome to the B.C. Chronicles.<br /><br />Much Luv<br />~BC~The Brooklyn Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673466547337519344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891147390226720630.post-10813569543558564382010-06-24T07:44:20.675-07:002010-06-24T07:44:20.675-07:00BG: I have stumbled across your blog and I must sa...BG: I have stumbled across your blog and I must say your writting skills are so on point.
