Parents Passing Away

This week is the one year anniversary of my mother’s death. I continue to miss her a lot.

Parkinson’s attacked my mom quickly. Her memory faded way too fast and her ability to understand life’s events faded even faster. She managed to tell me a few times before her cognitive abilities faded how proud she was of me. I will cherish her last words to me forever.

I needed my mother’s support throughout the abusive years and into the years surrounding my separation from my abuser. The problem though, was I wasn’t able to let her into my abusive world. It pains me now when I look back at all of the arguments created because it was easier for me to disagree with her versus holding my abuser accountable.

The spontaneous phone call from the kids – hey mom, can we go do this…. or that… ignites the guilty side of me. It took me years of self-discipline to start saying no to them.
  • Why does it always seem that the ex-husband who can’t financial assist with anything outside of the divorce agreement, always seems to do the more fun summer vacations? And if this wasn’t bad enough, listening to the excitement from the children before the trip and then after just add salt to my wounds.

    Hi, I'm Sue

    Author Sue Parisher
    Welcome to my blog! I served twenty-one honorable years on active duty, living a double life of capability and accomplishment in the service while enduring brutality and abusiveness in my twenty-one year oppressive marriage. Today I'm happily married and have three children who are my inspiration and motivation.

    My goal is to help combat the lies of abusers with the truth of God. I hope you find my words to be healing and helpful through your own life experiences.

    Sue's Story

    Being separated from my abusive husband didn't make me a domestic violence survivor. It surely didn't release me from the grip of his brainwashing control and the innate power he had on me.
