I didn't create Mystic Quote Mama because I had it figured out. I grew up with neglect and abuse. My mother told me she despised me from the day I was born.
At 21 I was a single mom, and child services took my daughter with no warning. It cost me my job and my place to live, and they told me I couldn't be a good mom because of my childhood.
I fought to get her back, and in that fight I fell into addiction myself. I came back. Professionals didn't hear me either. One said it wasn't my issue, when it was exactly what I was going through. A doctor told me my seizures and disc disease were all in my head.
Writing, just for me, was the first safe place. And this isn't all behind me. To this day I'm still getting abused and treated invisible, like I'm not even human.
These journals exist because I just didn't want anybody to feel the way I did. I wanted them to know they are not alone. My inbox is open if you need someone to listen. Not advice, not fixing. Just someone who won't look away.
