About us

Abuses and Excuses is a heartfelt blog dedicated to shedding light on the often hidden and painful experiences associated with childhood trauma and adult abuse.

I'm a 40 something women still dealing with the complications and ramifications of childhood and adult trauma. This is my blog. It's an honest, dark and sometimes funny story of my life and what has happened to shape me good and bad!

As people we are taught to "suck it up" and "fight on" and the old " what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" attitude. Well I'm not stronger for fighting and no it didn't kill me but what it did do was make me second guess EVERYTHING I do I'm my life and give me a wicked sense of humour!
