Reviews from The Broken Glass Slipper Symposium

First and foremost we would like to thank everyone who came out to support our first Daddyless Daughter Symposium.  We were honored to have the support we receive and our plans are to do a follow discussion this spring....

Hi I got a lot out of the symposium; up until receiving the email to participate,I didnt realize how being daddyless affected me.  It was very informative,I think it was great getting together and sharing how we can heal from this,and not let it defy who we are today!Quangie

Ms. Rose: I am so glad to have been a part of the symposium on Daddyless Daughters. I especially appreciated the panel discussions, and the interaction with the audience. I never knew how deeply rooted my hurt was until I came to the symposium. I walked away with a new resolve let go of my pain.

Subject: Re: The Brokent Glass Slipper

The Daddyless Daughter Symposium was very informative. The panel was very transparent sharing experiences and displaying raw emotion.  It caused me to think about my Daddyless Daughter issues and how to deal with them and get past them.  The audience participation was just as amazing where I learned many valuable lessons from both men and women ranging from not only Daddyless Daughters but Fatherless Sons.  I enjoyed the fellowship and hope this brilliant assembly of professionals continue to discuss an issue that is a sore subject but much needed healing process.

Sharing My Story In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

As the month draws to a close, I feel as if I have been inundated with a month of awareness, deadlines, meetings, conference calls, and cancellations. This month has also been deemed as Domestic Violence awareness month. It is a subject I would like to repress and ultimately erase from my memory but the actuality is…..I AM A SURVIVOR OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. I have tried to escape such a title but my mind and the photos I kept as reminders will not let me forget what I have endured. Those who know me well have seen my blood and bruises and provided endless shoulders for me to cry on. I can never repay those who allowed me to escape to their home and stay for a while when I thought I was about to be killed.  I will never forget the times I phoned home to Virginia to cry into the ear of my best friend; not realizing that she had her own life to tend to. My experiences with domestic violence began before I was even able to recognize it and call it what it was.

As a child I observed my mother and her paramour argue and fight occasionally and it quickly became the norm because the police were NEVER called. There was never a reconciliation period, and there was never an ultimatum set forth by my mother which stated that such a thing was NOT allowed to happen again. I remember being afraid, helpless, and prayerful that my mother would not continue to get into relationships with such violent, careless, hurtful men. My prayers seemed to have gone unheard.

Fast forwarding to my adolescent years and the untimely death of my mother, I found myself seeking out the same type of men that I had witnessed my mother associate with. In my mind, if he didn’t come with a little drama-he didn’t love me. I never considered a “good guy” because they were boring and uneventful. I figured that I needed to be “roughed up” every now and then to stay in line. I was oblivious to what a healthy relationship looked like and felt like because I had never seen a blueprint for a healthy relationship between a man and woman.

Before my marriage, I became subservient and submissive beyond any acceptable limit. I lived in a daze which cried out or gave men the impression that I needed to be told what to do. I appeared helpless and lost to the person I was considering being in a relationship with. Upon meeting my husband, he preyed on such a personality as mine because he obviously needed to be in control of anything and everything he possibly could. He dictated my every move and thought because I allowed him to do so. I gave up all rights to my own feelings, thoughts, and actions. In other words, I failed to establish boundaries and he clearly disregarded them when I attempted to set them.

I remember walking on eggshells, hoping that I didn’t do or say anything to set off a firestorm that would be unleashed when he became angry. I can’t say that I was an angel throughout my marriage but I did many things out of retaliation and hurt caused by a lack of communication, anger, and mistrust. The first time I was choked made me feel as if it was an out-of-body experience. I had to take time to regroup of course, but I couldn’t believe it. I sat in a small hallway closet and experienced flashbacks from every time I was ever abused. The inevitable sounds of my first born crying quickly made me snap out of it and continue on with my motherly duties. Each time the abuse happened after that I became increasingly more withdrawn from others. I became secluded and distant and uninvolved in things that used to keep me happy, uplifted, and vibrant.

I have only scratched the surface with this post, but the reason for sharing this is to let others know that there is a way to end the stigma and shame attached to being a victim of abuse. It starts with a willingness to take a stand and declare that it will NOT happen again. Any person being abused needs to know how to:

     PLAN YOUR EXIT

     ASK FOR HELP

     COMMIT TO CHANGE

My motivation for ending a long cycle of abuse was my children. I could not expect my oldest to get in the middle of a physical fight between me and a grown man. I also could not let my daughter grow up and assume that it is okay to be hit, disrespected, and ignored. I find strength in relying on a higher force (GOD) for guidance, revelation, and comfort. As I have often shared with my children, I would not change any part of my history because it has molded me into the strong, resilient person that I am today.
