Tag Archives: this is me.

Good morning. Today is a new day. I have been searching for me for a long time. And it’s really hard searching for yourself when your raising 2 little girls to do the same. My whole life I have always been called something other than who or what I am. Stupid and worthless by my mother. Slut or whore by people in the past. Drug addict by people in the legal system. To sensitive by everyone around me when I got sober or even leaving the marriage was I was called so many other things other than my name. In jobs I’ve been called over achiever just for working hard. And within the last year one of the most hurtful is bad mom. I’m still working on that one. So you get the point. But here is what I know so far. My name is Terri. I get lost in music. I want to be kind. I don’t understand hate in people. I have 2 beautiful girls. And a son that is angry at me. I am almost 17 years clean from all drugs. And 5 years safe from a very violent marriage that tried to destroy me. I have a huge passion for hurting people who want to find hope and a huge fear of what people say about me. But it’s getting better with time. This is the start of my blog. I know I am suppose to write. I know I have many stories to share. I want to be a light that shows others they are not alone. And even in the darkness, everything they have called me is the light at the end of the tunnel that pushes me harder to find myself. Today, I have a name. Now to figure out who I am behind the letters and all the scars who make me who I am. I hope you enjoy. And I will be working on connecting other social media platforms. So give me time. Love always, Terri.
