AN AMAZING STORY
|
Posted By: Ivett Jackson on November 30, 2009 An Amazing Compelling Story: I was molested, impregnated, and aborted, by my stepfather at age 13 and did not know it. I blocked out the horrific; traumatizing ordeal I endured by the hands of the one who should have cared for me. My stepfather was a MONSTER. I found a deep well in the recesses of my mind and hid the trauma, never to be remembered again. Or, so I thought. It took me a period of 35-40 long years to fully remember the agonizing ordeal, bit by bit. Finally, I have overcome this nightmare and am now an author of my first book The Journey, an inspirational autobiography that will inspire and strengthen many people. I patented a medical device, healed after having six hours of mastectomy/reconstructive breast cancer surgery. Survived 32 years of an abusive marriage, and escaped a deadly car crash. I am now pursuing acting and modeling. My most recent dramatic credit includes, The USA Network hit series Burn Notice. I modeled for the Bethesda Health City Breast Cancer Awareness Life is Sweet Fashion Show and was honored in the Palm Beach Post Notables. I have modeled for Mother's Day Banquet Dinner/ Fashion Show. I have been a caregiver for 36 years and was a driver for Oprah neighbor who wrote, I wish you a large spread and great opportunity with your book The Journey; Your story is compelling. Barbara Walters emailed me: May I suggest you send a book to Oprah. My readers write: Get to Oprah for your Voice. This story MUST be heard. It will inspire /strengthen and help other. I REFUSE to allow my pass to hold me bound. I recovered found the inner strength and am fulfilling my God given destiny; I am a VICTOR and not a victim. I would like to be on your show to share my story. Ms. Oprah, my passion is to help abused mothers and children dream come true. Thank you.
