I Lost Myself Through The Violence...

A story of a woman who survived violence, humillation, depression, and more.

Hello my is Katya Mora, I am 27 years, and this is my story...

My first memory of depression and pain began at age 5 when violence at my home got intense. I lived that way until I was 11 when my parents decided to separate. From then on I suffered from episodes of pain, frustration and depression.

Once I was a little girl who expected her father to show up at least in my birthdays but he would only promise and never delivered that promise.

My teen years were full of a lot of resentment towards my mother, because during my childhood I suffered physical violence from her.

At 15 years old I left my house, I was seeking for love and acceptance in the wrong places.

At 16 I decided to live with my ex boyfriend, during those 6 years I experienced more violence and humiliation.

Over the years living that way, I lost myself completely, without identity or sense of value for myself.

At this point, I neglected my body, my emotions and feelings. Futhermore, I made the decision to separate, and I began to live as a single mother of 3 children.

My life from that moment changed, I found true love in Jesus, real friends and the person who i wanted to become. Today I walk firmly in my identity, I have dreams and goals again. I am dedicated to work with young people and families and it is a great honor for me to be able to help women who face situations similar to those I faced.
