RE: My Personal Story of Sexual Abuse in My Family - Part 11 - The Nightmares of a Child - Inside the Kaleidoscope
This is horrible stuff, but you are helping those of us who have never went through anything like that to understand how it affected you and affects other children.
Thanks for talking about something so difficult. I am glad to hear that it is helping with your healing process too.
Thanks my friend! Yes it is hard reliving these events but well worth it as I am realizing now, it is more about forgiveness than anything. The abused become the abusers and they cycle continues. When it hits you what their lives growing had to have been like, you actually start to have compassion for them. Allowing those past memories to haunt you can really mess up a person's mind. That doesn't mean you become complacent and allow the abuse to continue..you simply refuse to take on the role of victim yourself and refuse to allow them to control you or your life or anyone else's. I think if more parents could see things from the eyes of a child and realize how this carries on and affects your adult life, they would do more to protect their children. If I can help people who are struggling with past issues, then I will have accomplished what I set out to do with these posts. Thanks again for your words of encouragement and support.
