Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2698

Tonight's special guest is Amber DeAnn from Reno, Nevada, who was emotionally and physically abused by her mother from birth. It didn't let up until Amber went off to college. "The mental putdowns and the emotional belittling left me feeling worthless, and helpless which grew into constant anger and hate of my Mom and a strange financial codependency," she says. "I lost all connection to who I was, what I wanted, what I liked. It was like living in a dark cave with no opportunity to see or walk in the light of day and feel happy." Today she's much better, succeeding as a Coach! “'I can't cope with life' was the message from my parents and so when Mom was in an angry state about her life she would beat me and emotionally belittle me. My Dad and brother just ignored me. The abuse started when I was born though I don't remember much about it and the emotional putdown lasted until Mom died when I was in my mid 40's." There have been many repercussions. "Currently I'm recovering from PTSD, scoliosis, and fibromyalgia which developed from my trauma, beatings, and inner emotional conflict about my value. I found spirituality through a 12 step program when I was in my 30's and that program forced me to be honest about my feelings toward my parents, my revenge actions, my buried self-image, self-respect issues." Amber goes on, "I believe it is essential for us survivors to identify our imprints (accepting the mindset, habits and lifestyle patterns of our caregivers) and learn how to shift them so we can feel worthwhile, have fun and lead a life of creating as explained in Law of Attraction."
