Every year around the holidays, we engage in the tradition of gift-giving. We gift to our loved ones, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances the gifts we believe they deserve or the precious tokens we think will enrich their lives and make their lives more fulfilled. So, we rush to stores to buy presents and we eagerly congregate around the holiday tree to gift them to the ones we love, impatient to see their expressions and pleased for the happiness these gifts will bring to them.

But the one gift almost never given – the one almost always forgotten – is a gift to ourselves. We rarely remember to give ourselves a gift for the holidays and when we do, it is often a material item we can tangible use – usually something we’ve been eyeing for some time that no one else has gotten us. But this is rare, as we focus the bulk of our gift-giving on others around us instead during the holidays.

If you’re a child of domestic violence, consider starting a new tradition this year. We all know the popular adage that “charity starts at home,” so consider giving yourself a precious gift this year – one that you can’t put into a box or stuff into a holiday stocking. Give yourself the ultimate gift that keeps on giving – freedom from Childhood Domestic Violence!

If you experienced childhood domestic violence and still struggle with the impact, if it still holds your life hostage, still keeps you from going after the things you want, still prevents you from reaching your goals, still robs you of a bright future, and still keep you from being the best spouse, father, mother, sibling, friend, coworker, or person you can be, give yourself the chance to change that.
