Survivor of child abuse in a domestic violence trauma situation. Author Biography The above caption was my constant prayer. This photo was graciously authorized for my inclusion in the book by D. Sharon Pruitt. This picture most accurately depicts the horror I often felt as a child. The prayer above was my cry in desperation for "Help" and "Rescue," that never came from my father in the countless tragic, horrifying events that occurred throughout my childhood. Through tears; in pain; experiencing shock or fearing for my life this prayer was uttered in earnest; rocking back and forth hiding in one of my many "Safe Places" usually outside in the forest or in the cornfield, under my bed, in a closet and behind the couch where I was terrified, alone, helpless and so very afraid. http://www.shardsofglasscwseymore.com/
