    For Posterity - the last of my childhood truths revealed

    For Posterity - the last of my childhood truths revealed

    In this episode I share with all of you something I kept hidden for too long.  You've heard my story, my truths of being a survivor of child sexual assault, of domestic violence and of sexual assault as an adult - you even heard that I am a survivor of suicide attempts, but this last truth was so surreal to me, something I could never understand why it happened, the way it happened, that I carried the shame longer and closer to me than in any of the other incidents. ...

    Thank you to my talented son, Kyle Roberts, for allowing me to use the song he wrote in my honor, For Posterity. It is a song that was recently released on his new band's, Super Brick, debut cd. 

    If you're interested in helping to keep the When I Became Free  going and growing,  please consider a donation as I am have a lot of plans for this year - be sure to listen to the end for announcements!

    Donations can be sent via Paypal to: paypal.me/simplyessentialpeace

    As always, thank you for listening - feel free to reach out: whenibecamefree@gmail.com 

    And always....

    Be well!

    Witnessing domestic violence and the aftermath from a child's perspective

    Witnessing domestic violence and the aftermath from a child's perspective

    In this episode I interview my two sons, Justin and Kyle Roberts who were just 13 and 8 years old when the final attack of domestic violence in our family occurred. They are frank, open and honest on what that day was like and then also what life in the aftermath was like for them, the innocent children paying the price and trying to make sense out of life. 

    If you have any comments or questions you can reach out to me at whenibecamefree@gmail.com

    My youngest son Kyle is a gifted and talented musician. You can check out his work at

    Kyle Roberts Blues and his new band at Super Brick
