Our own personal survival Story - Page 2
The first steps I took to change the course of my life, left me a misfit, abandoned by friends and family, lost and alone in our modern society. 

For me, living through the pits of my own disbelief and despair in unravelling my past, then followed years of counselling, while recovering from revisiting my childhood horror. And because of what was not there when I first started my inner journey of healing many years ago, on this road less travelled, so the idea of Cristina's House of Hope was born.

We all start with an idea, then the work follows. I want to be actively involved in doing something constructive about filling in the gap in support for others, by raising funds for a safe house for women and children in crisis from sexual abuse and most importantly, to raise awareness of the plight of the multitude in crisis.

I know a little of what it is like to stay trapped in a lifeless lifestyle, hiding my internal pain. From this, my own childhood horror survival, and the Life After Death, I myself lived as the adult-child, Cristina's House of Hope evolved.

Those of us who have survived our childhood horror, for there are many who haven't, need to step up and go out on a more open and personal level with our own survival story, and the concerns we have of child sexual abuse. In most cases we who have survived our childhood horror are left carrying the shame, blame and guilt for the rest of our lives.
