CeeCee James has written a series of memoirs that you will never be able to forget. Absolutely. Guaranteed.
During
her interview, I was at a loss for words. I have heard many stories
of abuse but I never heard one as intense as CeeCee's. She is
an incredibly gentle, warm woman who survived horrendous pain,
neglect and hatred by her mother.
Listening
to her story, you will be drawn to tears and anger as you hear
CeeCee share how the only touch she had ever known as a child was
one of pain.
At
TWO WEEKS old, her father burned CeeCee's face and body with an
iron. Her mother refused to feed or change CeeCee's diaper because
she did not want to be manipulated by a baby's cries. She
wanted to teach her NOT to cry. This was only the beginning
of a lifetime of trauma.
CeeCee
never remembers a time as a child when she was not hungry....or
cold.....or alone.....or hated.
Yet,
all CeeCee ever wanted was love. Even as a toddler she worked hard
to please her mother, hoping for one gentle touch or one kind word.
She never got
one!
EVER!
CeeCee
holds no animosity. No bitterness. No unforgiveness.
No blame. Instead, she understands the true necessity to
forgive and move forward. She is not looking for sympathy and
her humility is unique, feeling that many others may have suffered
more. She wants people to
understand how to let go of their past and hang onto hope -- the
only thread to survival.
This is a
must 'hear to
believe' podcast. You
will never be the same when you hear her story and realize the
strength of the human spirit to survive.
