Broken Mask: My struggle to forgive

It is difficult for most people to believe that is a true story. It is even harder to believe that anybody could possibly survive the abuse experienced in her youth, much less the tragedies of her adulthood. Hiding behind a thick rigid mask was her method of coping with her life. Kristina reveals that previous generations of her family had also ridden her merry-go-round of dysfunction. She knew of no other way to live than the circumstances into which she was born. How could she get off the ride? How could she help free her son from the same ride? First, Kristina had to get out from behind the mask that kept her from, sharing, feeling, forgiving, and accepting life. Finally, one cataclysmic event in her son's life broke that self-made mask and led her into sharing her troubles, feeling the pain, forgiving her transgressors, and accepting the life that God has given her. www.olmsteadpublishing.com
