People are conditioned to believe they "deserve" abuse. They're actually trained to it and primed to be targets. So even when they escape the abuser, they have a lot of work to do to recognize the lies and training that's kept them in harm's way. We are trained to know and believe it's not the victim's fault. And that's true...but there's a caveat. Many victims don't realize that certain attitudes of acceptance and behaviors can actually prime them for targeting by abusers. Abusers recognize these attitudes and behaviors. They look for people that have them. So it's our responsibility to learn to recognize what we can change that might give off signs that say, "Hey, I'm a target because I don't know what I don't know about how you're manipulating me." We have to get proactive instead of reactive. And that's the show I'm recording today :) It'll release this afternoon. So thank you.AngBreidenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193337694193623903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-81312932832765791892015-11-10T00:12:07.843-05:002015-11-10T00:12:07.843-05:00Thank you much for the book info, Angela - I'l...Thank you much for the book info, Angela - I'll check out those collections with 'The Debutante Queen', and be watching for the others in your series to release, also.

Thank you for sharing. I checked out th...Hi Angela,<br />Thank you for sharing. I checked out the YMCA wheel, which is very interesting. I remember, as a high school teacher--many years ago, discussing possible abuse with one of my female students. It was beyond my comprehension why she would think that she deserved the abuse she had received in the past. <br /><br />I'm sorry I don't have a question for you, but I will say, it seems that, as Christians we are more and more going to need courage to stand up for what we believe. I'm looking forward to reading The Debutante Queen. Blessings... <br />KayMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972922396306756344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-77280959777232578322015-11-09T14:41:36.889-05:002015-11-09T14:41:36.889-05:00Hi Bonnie, we have a lot in common.

I worked 2-3 jobs as a single mom too :) Glad not to have to do that, but if you add up all the hours of a writer, well, maybe it's the same ;) The Debutante Queen is coming out this week!! I'm just receiving the single formatted for Kindle as we speak!! But if you want to read it now, rather than in a day or two, it's available in the Frontier Hearts boxed set http://amzn.to/1RIRPkS or in the historical/contemporary duo, Snowflake Tiara: http://amzn.to/20HHbB4) The reason it's coming out as a single, with that so pretty cover :) is that it's going to Audible. But it has to be a single title on Amazon before it can be uploaded to the audio format. The only thing I can think of for that requirement is the Amazon ownership of Audible. But I'm not positive. However, another benefit is that The Debutante Queen really is the first book in the Montana Beginnings series I'm writing. So Eleven Pipers Piping is the second story. When I'm done with the entire series (heading for at least 5) then all of them will eventually be able to be in one set...the dilemma is having to write the whole series first, lol. The good news is that each story, though related, can stand on its own so you'll feel satisfied as a reader. Each story is set in Helena, MT so the setting stays the same. The third one comes out in February as Taking the Plunge and the fourth comes out late spring, Bitterroot Bride. Thank you so much for asking!AngBreidenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193337694193623903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-64792739909383685082015-11-09T14:32:08.930-05:002015-11-09T14:32:08.930-05:00Love that suggestion for the show.

Later, I received education/training and worked in a women's/children's abuse center, as well as a children's home for abused children. They were stressful, but gratifying experiences; I agree with your comments re: God bringing beauty from our difficulties in our sharing wisdom from our personal experiences to help others. I'm thankful God always uses my difficulties to my good, and the good of others - at times, also!! <br /><br />Was wondering when 'The Debutante Queen' will be released, I agree with the other comments - a beautiful cover, the blue is eye-catching. Love the storyline!!<br /> Bonnie Roofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-35706011278170856302015-11-09T13:09:09.141-05:002015-11-09T13:09:09.141-05:00The Debutante Queen is a great story!

I hope if the time comes while I'm still on earth, that I'll have the same courage that others in centuries past have displayed...including using the new printing press to print copies of the Bible in the language of the people. I can only imagine how hard that was to do!AngBreidenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193337694193623903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-67047575783546613092015-11-09T12:58:54.121-05:002015-11-09T12:58:54.121-05:00Thank you for reading it, Mary :)Thank you for reading it, Mary :)AngBreidenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193337694193623903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-83506882170233183372015-11-09T12:58:33.761-05:002015-11-09T12:58:33.761-05:00Thank you :) I love the dress!

Thanks for a great interview with OWG. The Debutante Queen cover is gorgeous. I'd be sure to check out your iTunes show. Courage, candor and confidence sure goes hand in hand. I've always been drawn to stories, be it real life or fiction of how a person's guilt and un-forgiveness of self can put a damper on the 3 Cs. I think that would be a topic I would be interested in hearing. justcommonlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111152642634472625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-24996748184498821362015-11-08T21:37:03.924-05:002015-11-08T21:37:03.924-05:00I love all the books that are offered.

You're right about God being a practical God (even though He is still a miracle God, too) and working through us to help each other. Finding good from evil and beauty from ugliness. <br />Gorgeous cover on The Debutante Queen, and it sounds like a powerful story! I think as time goes on, we may be forced to choose God's laws over man's more and more.<br />Hope you enjoy your time here at OWG Angela.
