“…understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator; forgiveness liberates the victim” Bishop TD Jakes
This very captivating episode will leave you in awe.
Please have a box of tissue paper close as my special guest TemiTee narrated her super incredible story as a suicide warrior. She unpacked child abuse, humiliation and trauma.
TemiTee is a very lovely beautiful lady; a law school graduate, a content creator and an animator. She is the founder of 'Getting Past Your Past foundation'. GPYP foundation is a mental health non-profit organization with the sole aim of helping people overcome their addictions, past pains, traumas and hurts. The GPYP foundation was birthed as a result of her past mistakes and lives adversities. TemiTee also experienced childhood traumas, abuse, rape as a young adult and has even attempted suicide.
Here are some of TemiTee’s few story lines.
"I grew up in a hostile environment, my dad was a tyrant. No one could face him then, no one could question his authority, no one could come close. I cannot say it was because he is too principled, but I think he was just hard-hearted although there are now changes.
When I was a kid, I thought I never had a dad, because I grew up to know only my mom and my aunt (my mom’s younger sibling). My mom took up the fatherly responsibilities while my aunt took up the motherly responsibilities. So, I was raised by those two. He might have left home because I was born a female…" How?
Stay tuned… You’ll know the full story in this thought-provoking episode. Listen up!
Here are the highlights of the episode:
◾️5:48 - No one chooses their parents or where they’d like to be born
◾️7:38 - I grew up not having anyone to confide in
◾️10:53 - The shame and trauma - My mom called me a prostitute at 17
◾️11:55 - After shame and humiliations; the suicidal thoughts sets in
◾️ 12:25 - And so i decided to take my own life; I was so tired I wanted a new one. I wanted to be loved.
◾️ 14:55 - Oh God, I did not choose this parents; I wish you had given me an option
◾️ 17:51 - The little straw that broke the camels back - My dad said and I quote “I didn’t have the intention of giving birth to a girl. I don’t know where this one came from.
◾️18:13 - When I heard that; everything in me came down - I did not choose my gender.
◾️18:49 - That was when I regretted coming to this world in my gender
◾️19:06 - That was when I knew the reason for his absence when I was born and why my mom and aunt had single-handedly raised me
◾️19:51 - And so I drank herbicides (harmful substances used to control weed) and then I added kerosene to it. I just wanted to fast… I thought this life wasn’t worth living for. I was born a girl.
◾️21:18 - I censored my thoughts and my words; more like walking on eggshells
◾️26:45 - Got raped by a friend who claimed he loved me; that was my first experience of being loved by someone and then I discovered I was pregnant…that was a nightmare.
◾️28:59 - Why crying over a spilled yoghurt
◾️34:17 - I was able to forgive, and that was how I got my healing - That is the first step to healing.
