LASHARONDA NICOLE STEWART
Hello my is Lasharonda Stewart and I am a 30yr old single parent. I have two children a 4yr old boy Kameren and a 11yr old daughter India. I love my children with all my heart in fact my daughter was one of my inspirations as to why I started this group. I do not want her to endure this type of pain. So, here is a little more knowledge as to why I decided to start this group. First and foremost I would like to God for bringing me threw the trials in life that I have overcome. I have endured so much pain in my life since the age of 7 up until now. I know there is more pain yet to come,but I also know that with God on my side all things are possible. Just recently on August 12, 2011, my 2yr old son was hit by a vehicle(he is still alive) with God's grace he walked away with minor injurys. The doctors said it was a MIRACLE. Now let me state that when my son was first born he had a near death experience his intestine's were blocked off which caused him to not hold anything down. He had grown weak and his little body was so frail. The doctor's said if I had brought him a day later he would have been gone! For this I praise God , for he has been by my side since day one. See ladies I have a story to tell. Through out my life I have overcame alot of tragic situations including, abusive relationships, molestation, mental abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. When I was 7yrs of age my mother use to let me go to my aunt's house and stay the night, but what she did not know was that I was being molested there. It took me 20yrs to finally open up and tell my mother and father, but after I did that I was so relieved of that pain. Occasionally I think about it, but it does not hurt as much as it use to. My father was missing out of my life for some years(not by choice) so not having father figure I began to look for the love that I was missing in all the wrong places(here's where the abuse come in) I was in an abusive relationship for almost 5yrs on and off.. I stayed in this relationship because each time I was given the excuse( "I'M SORRY I'LL GET HELP, OR I SWARE I WONT DO IT AGAIN") so I stayed. During this time I began to feel worthless, I began to be a slave for love, jumping at my partners every beckon call, dis-owning my friends, skipping out on work, I began to think I was ugly and worthless, I had began to think no one loved me. I had several mental breakdowns, panic attacks, I had to see physiciatrists for depression and medication. I had seen my mother abused, so I thought that it was ok. "How wrong was I". MY LAST DRAW WAS WHEN I WAS BEATEN IN FRONT OF MY 2YR OLD SON. That episode opened my eyes to reaility. My face was tore up, my lips were swollen until I could not eat, the inside of my mouth had cuts across the inside of my lips, and my baby boy saw the entire scenario, as of this day he remembers it like it was yesterday. Ladies there is a wake up call in every womans life to reassure them of what reality is. This my loves was my wake up call please dont let it be yours too. I have so much more to tell but I will save that for the book Frances and I plan to write. This was just brief story as to why I started this group...Remember "EVERY WOMAN HAS A BREAKING POINT" I LOVE YOU AND GODBLESS YOU ALL........................
