As you all know I had recently posted a video of my experience with domestic violence. I was really afraid to post this video because of what others might think, but posted it anyway because I was determined to help someone. I also realized that it wasn’t about what others thought it was about getting my story out. So glad I posted it because I had people commending me on telling my story. I also had people thanking me because they had also been through the same situations. This let me know that I was not alone. When you are in situations like that you often feel very alone.
Here I was afraid to post this and had no reason to. Me posting that video inspired some and also encouraged a young lady who is currently going through the same thing as I did. I told her that it would be okay and she would eventually find her way.
I am just so thankful. I had a support system and didn’t even know it. Don’t always be afraid to tell someone. Not everyone is judgmental and they just might be going through or went through the same thing as you.
Until my next blog! See you!

Relationship Abuse| My Story
My most recent video I discuss some of the things I went through in my last relationship.
I was dating this guy who really used and abused me. He took advantage of me in any way he could.
He disrespected me by bringing girls over to my house while I was away or at school. He cheated and cursed me out in front of my kids. He abused me mentally, verbally, and physically. He really had me fooled because I had knew him for years. He sought out my situation and went in for the kill. I was at my lowest point in this relationship because I was loosing my hair, I always felt sick and always had a headache. I never felt good. I was severely depressed and felt like I had no way out. I felt like no one else would want me.
This however was not the case. There were lots of people who wanted to get to know me, who wanted me. I just kept telling myself that they wouldn’t. It was up to ME to decide whether or not I wanted to continue with this horrible relationship. I finally got out of that horrible relationship. I got a restraining order on the guy and I haven’t looked back since. I thank God for my friends and family who stuck by me through that horrible time. I also thank God for helping me to get out of that situation okay because it could have went very different.
I have heard so many stories of people who weren’t so lucky. If you are in a relationship where you are abused tell someone. Leave. Don’t get hurt and be unhappy because life is way too short.
Americans Shoppers Network (Scam)!!
Today I received a call from the “American Shoppers Network” saying that I won $580,000.
Now I started to believe this was true. The guy told me his name and gave me a claim number and a number to call. So I’m thinking okay this might be real, until he said that I need to either go to 7 eleven or dollar general to purchase a green dot money card and put $200 on it to cover fees for send them to be able to send the $580,000 amount.
Pure bull! The number I got a call from has a Jamaica area code It is 876-430-3715. I did research on the it as well and could not find any info on them, I did however find out that it was a scam. There were people actually sending them money. So BEWARE IF YOU GET A CALL FROM THE “AMERICAN SHOPPERS NETWORK”!! They will tell you that they are affiliated with Global International. If they contact you please do not send them any money!
