We are Survivors.. becoming Thrivers... I grew up as part of a family that was abused physically verbally and subjected to humiliation and pain by a mean, constantly rejecting parent- figure who often hated his own children, especially when they showed their neediness or, God forbid, any trace of ego—and that doesn’t leave much room for a child. Fathers thinking was insane-- ritualistic expectations and behavior -- while he claimed, with powerful voice and manner, that he exhibited the esssence of rational and sane behavior. He not only asserted His will but argued a very convincing case for the correctness of his opinions. There is much to my story that I will reveal only slowly, as I feel safe to do so. I have overcome much-- huge things no child should have to face, and events that have appalled others. I know I am not alone in my experiences. I am the one who must learn to live with these things. In my lifetime, I know I am lucky if I can heal enough to begin feeling even a little comfort in my own skin. To not want to kill myself, even that has been a big thing many days. Now, even in my 50's I find my tormentors' pictures emerging on canvasses that come from between my ears. I'm blessed to be able to actually commit them to pen, paper, and paint helping my recovery and to honor the pain which is a part of recovery as well--what I've lived through deserves honor, respect and honesty in the telling. After all, if John McCain ,as prisoner of war, can be a hero, why is my experience any less worthy of honor? I speak with the soothing voice of a Healing avatar known as Lollipop Mom-- and you can too! Together we can build these pages as a resource of hope for survivors-- there is great hope and awakening to be had, so Don' quit before the miracle! Love & Healing-- A Survivor :) _________________________________________________________- Art and “heart-works” are shared in the photos section of these pages-- more can be found in at http://HeartsGallery.com or http://FeelingsChild.org You are at http://LollipopRoad.org Lollipop Mom's homepage is at http://LollipopRoad.com ____________________________________________________________ == | |

your lollipop mom was also mine and I still suffer from the fear the horrible dad's verbal abuse and absolute hatred toward us instilled in me and from the mom who couldn't or wouldn't protect us.

Lollipop Mom Rules !
“Lucky Lolli” sez: As an “old- timer” Survivor now, some perspectives I can now embrace more fully include: … feeling different about just how important my personal comfort is, really, -- yeah, its nice, but it ain't "all that" like it once was... There's bigger things now to me, like being there for others and giving the best I can to the world and my HP-- That which to me should have always been the biggest thing still takes the working on, to get there & to want it enough to sacrifice self-- to become more the truly self- transcendent, HP connected person I want to be.... I can take comfort in knowing that I am healing and that I can continue learn ways of coping that help me move on to a healthier more honest perspective. I can hold this thought even when I can’t quite believe it—I can “act as if” and that give me strength to go on another day. Others see me better than I do, and if they tell me I am progressing, I can know that there will be a day when I will see it too. These are attitudes I find helpful. The attitudes of others and what they need to do is something I can't judge for anyone else. These pages are a support for all of us who have walked this rocky road--- There is hope, as courageous Survivors & Thrivers in this new Millenium Don’t give up before the Miracle! _______________________________________________________________ Art and “heart-works” are shared in the photos section of these pages-- more can be found in at http://HeartsGallery.com or http://FeelingsChild.org You are at http://LollipopRoad.org Lollipop Mom's homepage is at http://LollipopRoad.com |

Survivor! The Naked Truth is about recovery, abuse, heart and healing, as told in artwork, words and pictures, guided by avatar “Lollipop Mom", including "First Aid” for survivors and thrivers and a "dysfunctional family tour"... An Album to Heal the Hearts Excerpts from the book, plus more from Book Two upcoming… The naked truth, for this little girl, was butt-ugly. But it also had its moments, its corners of light. It is something one cannot endure alone. Something must have held and sustained a tiny flame of hope in all those years. The deep feeling of aloneness was there, but there had to be something more— otherwise, how could one endure? The “more” shows up in the corners, the backdrop of these pieces. It shows up in the colors, in the “gallows humor” that can poke fun at the darkness even while enveloped in it. Yes, I have this pain, but I have survived, and that is BIG. What’s more, I have lived to tell the story, and to help others tell their stories. That, for me, is everything. It brings out the “Lollipop Mom” in me. I know that in some areas, it may be “too late” for me to recover what has been lost— but for you, maybe, there can be more to hope for. That is my dearest wish. |
