my nephews loved planting with me when they were little. We didn't have a big backyard or anything but our patio was full of potted plants. We used seeds to practice counting and they would often remember about watering our "baby flowers" before I...
sometimes you can't. Hindsight is 20/20 after all. Whats scary is when you can see it yet you still take it. I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to leave her fiance. She feels like she needs him because the house and the car is in his name... ...
Great list of things to look out for and the red flags to watch for. Great advise for everyone!
Many of these hit home with me and the relationship with my first husband. He was emotionally abusive to me and the kids, which is why he is my ex ;)

Okay :) so I really want these stories to not only teach a little bit about the traditions but to also bear the life lessons that children would need to learn... since the first series of stories will surround each sabbat I'm trying to connect the...
You really should consider publishing them. I would love to have something like that for my girls :) So totally would buy it :)
What a great idea! You should consider publishing them tho. Seriously! Thx for sharing this with us and I look forward to reading your stories!!!

a few years ago I came across a website that had a newsletter for pagan parents that had great stories for pagan children. http://www.pookapages.com/
Basically a series of stories about a little witch and her cat that teaches lessons to the littl...

When you are homeless and scared you will live with almost anyone to avoid the streets. You always figure its easier than being out there. I've never been an addict but I have been homeless. I've crashed on couches of people I didn't even really k...

- I'm a coffee addicted nerd who dreams of being an artist.
Coffee is a requirement for functionality, but a white mocha with extra whipped cream is the best treat to make me smile.
I am interested in what most would call mythical. Faeries, dragons, vampires, lycanthropes, demons, elves...ect.
History has always struck my fancy. I love seeing where we came from and how much (or little) we have changed over time. I like knowing where things started and wondering where they will end up.
I dream of painting or writing a published work. I can't paint because I am to easily distracted by mixing colors and my words on paper don't convey always what I want to say.
I'm a nerd. I like gaming and computers and would love to learn more about such things.
oh yes and I love people... I like talking to people and playing with small children and holding babies... I could never be a success as a hermit. I need human contact even if its by the text I read in an IM.

- To put it in the easiest terms I know, I'm on the eclectic type of pagan. Very much interested in Celtic paganism, but I have deeper roots in Guitana Brujeria, But even that I worked with moreso in early childhood, and don't remember as much as I wish I did.
Strong believer in Karma, reincarnation, polytheism, magick in general.
I'm very openminded and fluid in my beliefs as with each day I learn something new that makes me reanalyze the way I think about the worlds around me.

- I love kids, and I believe in protecting those who cannot protect themselves.
- In what ways do you feel you can help in the fight against child abuse? (MUST BE ANSWERED THOROUGHLY TO REMAIN A MEMBER)
- I'm not sure. I know that one way is to break the cycle in my family with me. I will never hurt my future children the way I was hurt. I try to teach those around me. I know that my sisters didn't know how to love and care for their children when they had them. I worked with them to help them learn something that doesnt necessarily always come naturally.

normal
I dont know if its just me, or if a lot of "survivors" feel like they will never have a normal life. I still have to work through my issues. And I struggle to do normal things. I mean, I have a job, and a place to stay for now, but I don't have that stability I desire.
I moved to south carolina to start fresh. To leave behind all the crap that held me down from having the kind of life I want. But it seems like as if on cue the second i start feeling like things are lining up...something happens… Continue

Welcome to PACA! I'm glad you're here. And thank you for sharing your story in "survivor stories". You're definitely a Survivor!
And thank you for doing what you do to protect the children around you. The best way to protect children is to educate those around you, and you're doing that. And it sounds like you've done a lot of good within your family, too.
Blessings, and *HUGS*

I'm the same way... only I can imagine that it's worse for you, having actually been there *and* being a very sensitive person to boot.
One thing I can tell you is that if you aren't careful about it, it will overwhelm you and yo...
