I'm New

[IamLiving]

Hello. My name is Heather. I'm 23, I'm married and we have a 2 year old daughter (Winter) and a son (Tucker) due July 3rd. And I'm a survivor of childhood incest.

My name "IamLiving" comes from a song about abuse. It's called "Light in the Hall' and it's by Fred Small. I decided to use it because it reminds me that there can be life after all of this.

That part of the song:

"Tracing the truth through the tangle of lies

Forgiving myself what I did to survive

I am living I am living"

I'm not sure what else there is to say, besides that.
