Confessions of a Trauma Survivor

The beginning of the end also marked the abrupt end of my children's childhood and innocence as they suffered in ways children should never have to.

My experience being physically examined was horrific.  I was treated like a slab of meat on a table and the medical staff were void of basic human emotions like empathy and gentleness. To date every doctor visit I make is traumatizing.

Treated as trash, I was violently thrown into a 6 feet deep hole;  a literal dumping ground. Amidst the horrific fall, and severe injuries I was humiliated, degraded and my spirit broken.  Links to my social media and book are down below: AMAZON:  BARE FEET WEBSITE: debbieali.com    (Counseling / Books / Blogs) EMAIL: deardaa4@gmail.com IG: michael3gl FB:  FACEBOOK YOUTUBE VIDEOS: Search up Debbie...
