My name is Sammie. My heart is going out to you right now. I dont understand why parents behave in that manner it is totally unexceptable. Have you any other family members that you could stay with and talk to about the abuse? I know it takes a whole lot of courage to talk to someone about what is going on. I was abused through my childhood to, I wasnt able to tell anyone what was going on.
I will pray for you Jake, Im your new friend. Where are you staying at the moment ?
To answer your question, I don't have that much family I can truly rely on. I have four relatives total. So going to them is pretty hard to do. Also most knew what was happening at the time. I'm staying at my friends place and we sometimes talk about God's plan for everyone but I do not see how I fit into that. He tells me that he listens to everyone but i still feel that God just doesn't work for me. But, thank you for responding though. It means so much to me. But please, just do not feel obligated to do anything. I mean it. I'm just so done hurting everyone.
Hi Jake, I have been through a VERY traumatic childhood and life as an adult. I sometimes question why me? God has not worked out in my case. The one thing that keeps me here and fighting is the fact that I will not let anyone beat me down mentally. I find that helping others really helps me also.
Think how many cashiers in stores have such a boring job. My goal in life is to make someone happy each time that I am in public. I show people funny photos of my cats, tell funny jokes, compliment people on their hair, clothes, etc.
It is these little things that I cling onto. They help me stay positive. I also do volunteer work and do my best to help those less fortunate than me.
I hope that this helps. Feel free to respond, Connie
Hi, Jake! I don't know if you still read your messages on here, but I am a new person on here and I just read your post from some time ago. How have you been doing since you first came onto this site? Have you gotten any therapy or anything for your past? Just curious. You can call me bug. I was abused starting at the age of 9, by my father. I had gotten therapy for it for a long time and recently, I've been getting bad dreams again about the past and my father. I feel alone and don't know why this stuff is surfacing again.
I just want someone to hear how i feel and what is going on-someone that can understand what I am going through and just to not feel so alone in this.
You can private message me anytime, I would be so happy to hear back from you.
I read your story and my heart goes out to you. I just want to let you know that God does have a purpose for your life. What the devil meant for bad, God meant for God. What I have found out in my struggle to be a survivor, is that the best way to stump on the devils head is to help others that have been through the same trama. I am also a survivor of sexual abuse but I have decided to be a blessing to others. I have made the decision to foster parent abused children. This is my way to let the devil know that he is not in control of me, nor is he in control of my life. I am going to make sure that I use the trama that I endured to make a difference in someone elses life. Stay encouraged and continue to seek God for understand.
