How a careless teenager turned into a (step)mom - Part 21 - Celebrating Life!

'HOW A CARELESS TEENAGER TURNED INTO A (STEP)MOM'

(life of a girl who survived domestic violence and stalking, fighting for a better life)

Welcome to the Twenty-First day I'm participating in the #monthlyauthorchallenge!
I'm really excited to join the challenge! Why? Because I would love to share some bits of my life with you.
I think it might surprise you and even shock you 😉

DAY 21 Celebrating life!

The supervision order stopped! Such a relieve!
A few months after the supervision order of CPS stopped, my ex-husband just got a supervision order (Is that the same word in English? In Holland it's called TBS) because of the continuous stalking, the threats and some other offenses.

Finally there was peace and rest!!!

For the first time in years we started LIVING instead of SURVIVING.
For me it was like the clouds above my head (that I wasn't awear of) moved away and the sun could finally shine!
I started to open myself up more and more.
I found out that I'm actually a creative person. I like to think out of the box. I like to create new things, with my head and with my hands. I love to organize things. I love to be busy. I love to interact with people.
Things I didn't know about myself, because I was so busy surviving!

I'm still shocked that the stalking, the interference of CPS, and everything that came with it had so much effect on me!

I still have a hard time remembering things. My memory is not what it should be..
Annoying, but I guess it's a blessing as well. I forgot a lot of things that happened back then and I sleep like a baby. 😉

There is so much more to say about these happenings. So much more things that happened. So much more details..
I'm thankful I could share this with you.
I hope a inspired people. If there's one thing I could say to you after all of this is:

Hang in there! There is hope!

For me my faith was A HUGE help through all of this. Just knowing that there's a God who looked after us, and who'd take care of us was so important for me.
I'm so thankful for how things turned out. I'm thankful for my life and the people who are in it.

I'm 10 years together with @fitzgibbon and our 4 kids.
We're going to celebrate our love by making new memories!

We're flying to Marocco tomorrow!
I will keep you updated with pictures!
(I hope there will be wifi available everyday, so I can complete The Monthly Author Challlenge!😁)

Stay tuned!
