One afternoon while cooking for the holidays a tiny visitor finished a drop or two of liquer in the bottom of a glass. He had a really hard time getting it together. This is his adventure.
This is my story: Please know that I am not trying to downplay anyone else’s situation- this is my personal experience and I consider myself VERY lucky-my story is mild compared to others I have witnessed and heard. I just want people to know that Emotional Abuse is REAL…and very damaging. During my early years, as a young bride, I was emotionally abused. Time kept passing but the damage never went away. The result was that by the time I became a young adult, my life was a big mess. I was waking up every morning feeling worthless and without any sense of direction. I was stuck in a dead-end job. I was making the wrong choices in my personal relationships. Then in 1999, my father died suddenly. He was only 59 years of age. With his passing, I was forced to make a critical decision. Was I going to continue living as I had been? Or was I going to take action and hold myself accountable for whatever happened? Then I realized how great it was that it was up to me to make that choice. I decided to begin the journey toward becoming who I believed was the real me. That’s when I became one of the lucky ones. I had become a survivor because I had chosen to heal myself. My father’s sudden death reminded me how short life really is. Because of that, I knew I should begin not only loving myself but also never being satisfied with anything less than doing what I loved. It was the most important turning point in my life. As a single parent, I became a student at the University of North Alabama. In 2006, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in Graphic Design. I left there transformed. Not only did I have my degree, but I also had a new self confidence. How wonderful it felt to finally be able to accept myself and to realize I had fulfilled my dream of becoming a professional artist! Damaged But Not Dead (www.VLAntoine.com) allowed me an outlet and a way to heal a painful past. It’s based on emotional abuse, which I suffered over a span of 8 years (1984-1992). It’s a journey of my thought process during this time, the lengthy recovery, and the end result, which in my case, is a new self-acceptance and accomplishment of my life dream to become a professional artist. Although this experience was damaging to my self-esteem and distorted many of my views in life–through my faith in God–I was able to pick myself up and learn from it to make life better for myself. So, even if this exhibition touches the heart of only one person, whether victim or abuser, I will consider it a success.
