Welcome to My Safe Haven, a site dedicated to the abused and/or neglected children of the world and devoted to speaking out against the atrocities of child abuse, domestic violence and animal abuse. I have designed and created My Safe Haven with a mind to providing a safe place not only for myself, but also for anyone else who may be in need of one.  Within the confines of this site, I hope many will find the peace and serenity I have attempted to fill it with. There is much love and understanding here. There is also much pain and sorrow.

My sincere hope is that this web site be an inspiration to myself, as well as other abuse survivors and their supporters.  It is a safe place to visit and will remain a safe place. Here we may just relax and read, look to gain some understanding, or perhaps access the strength required to move onward with our healing journeys.

I am mindful that for all the abused and or neglected children of this world there will always be tears. Sometimes the tears will remain unshed. They are there nonetheless.  Tears shed for the pain and the fear felt by those too young to protect themselves. There will always be tears, even when the immediate pain goes away. Sometimes they will be tears of soothing, sometimes of anger, sometimes of joy. Sometimes the tears will be cried silently inside. I adopted the symbol of the teardrop in sympathy of all the desperate and lonely tears shed by the children whom, day after day and night after night, silently endure the pain inflicted on them by their heartless abusers. You see, those are tears that will be forever.
