This was my favorite shelf in the expansive home-library my mother used for school and down time.
Books were my escape, coping meschanism, and delight.
Unfortunately for me, the nearest library is about 6 miles in a direction I avoid because of traffic (not to mention it is beside a Mega-church with "abortion crosses" and protesters semi-frequently on it's sidewalks).
I am proud to have been cross-posted on Homeschoolers Anonymous Week of Positives.
This is actually the second time, because they also posted my story about being a sister-mom to my younger siblings recently.
I know what you are saying: I post more on other people's blogs than on my own!!!
Out of a cult and towards reality
Welcome!
Aliases become me.
I am DoaHF, and Jennifer, and a couple other names.
This was once the Defrauded Daughters blog, but the name and url had to be changed because my parents found it and were reading and using it against me.
Read, comment, and leave thinking.
I am honored you came to visit.

Hey, Y'all
Ive been getting a lot of views via Libby Anne's Survivor Blogs list, and I wanted to greet them cheerily.
Also, I wanted to update seeing how long its been since I have posted a cheery, upbeat southern greeting.
Seriously, my accent is getting worse because I am waitressing now and I have been told multiple times that customers will get offended if called "guys" (as in "hey, guys, what drinks can I start you off with this evening?" or "How are you guys doing?").
I am finding that waitressing involves a lot more walking and working and the money and hours are never guaranteed. Its hard and tiring and wearing me out.
College classes begin the 15th, and I am very excited for this third semester. While I did win the scholarship, it does not cover books, so I have been saving up for those as well.
Thankfully I am learning how to balance between renting and buying to save as much $$ as I can (considering that buying them from the bookstore runs around $800 a semester!) and I worked myself to death this week and made $400 for them. (yay!)
Since it has been hot and muggy out I have not had any severe issues with depression or lashing out emotionally. I have been stressed a lot with work and being physically worn out, but I know it is only for the time being and I am looking forward to beginning classes again. I feel like I am in my element when I do that and it really makes me happy.
Also, I have been saving up money for a kitty. I am a cat-lover and I have not had one since I left home. It does something for me that nothing else does. I have been biding my time, saving up for the apartment pet deposit, and looking for the perfect ball of fluff to fall head over heels in love with. I know it will happen and I have been wanting it more and more now that I have a little place of my own.
Life is as life does.
I keep plugging on.
Its my tenacity. I will survive and conquer and look down at those who have tried to hurt me and laugh.
..........maybe?
