I have been replying to your posts for the last hour and just realized that I did not introduce myself.I am female,38,married,2 sons(1 is grown 1 is little)am Jewish and live in Indiana.I would be so happy to share my friendship with you all.I am willing to listen and be a caring friend to any who needs one.Shalom(wishing you all PEACE).
I am 38,married with 2 sons and live in Indiana.I was abused by my alcoholic step-dad and also my older(10 yrs older) half-brother.I ran away from home after realizing that my mother(who ran around with many different men) was not interested in stopping the abuse.My little sister and I ended up in foster homes(seperately)and that pretty much was the end of my family.My other brother(Terry) and my 2 sisters and I tried our best to bond together later in life...but somehow we just drifted further apart.Unfortunately,Terry died of a drug over dose 12 yrs ago...so, here I am trying my best to go on.I do alright much of the time but it`s the loneliness that really gets to me.My husband and I do not spend much time together(although we live in the same house) because my faith(among other things) has divided us....so really all I have is my boys and of course my Saviour.I am a Netzari Jew(a Jew who worships Messiah)but I was not raised in the faith or any faith for that matter.I have Jewish blood through my mom but she does not live as a Jew.I have tried to have a relationship with her, but it just seems hopeless to keep trying( she refuses to admit to the abuse).My step-dad just passed away last November...I am glad that he is finally gone from this world....not so long ago I heard that he raped a retarded girl, but he was never punished.I have complete faith that he will be punished now.
Any time that you need someone to talk to...send me an e-mail or post me here...I would love to make a new friend(s) who has been through much of the same things that I have....someone I can trust who can trust me also.I would also like to discuss the good things in my life(and what I`m interested in) and not just focus on the bad things,and would like to know what interests you all have too(smile).Shalom, and I hope you are well!!
I have read your mail as of 3rd Sept 07. My name is Samuel - 44 year old Indian male now living in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I was physically and verbally abused by my mother and deprived and neglected by both my parents. Mine perhaps is one of the rarest cases where both parents inflicted a high degree of abuse and neglect and rejection. Surprisingly they were quite normal to my older brother as well as my younger brother and younger sister.
I am writing to you to help you in case you need to restore yourself to normal once again. Having gone through this and turned around a full 360 degrees by sheer miracle, I am now in a position to help others in restoration. Its not easy I must admit. Restoration is a journey and I personally find fulfilment in restoring abused people to normalcy. Also I must mention to you that the sufferijg of an abuse victim is among the greatest of challenges perhaps anyone can face because this problem coves all aspects of life and the inability to cope. If you need help please reply to kossamul@gmail.com
I live in Kansas and i know how you feel at times too. I am 30 and married also. My grandfather molested me for 22 years from the earlyies that i can rember was 4 years of age to 22 years of age. I haven't told my parents yet and family. I would love to have someone talk too. My email address is heatherone@sbcglobal.net Thanks Annie
Hi Annie, I am a new person to this forum. i perfectly understand your situation. If you would like to talk to someone you can definitely talk to me. I am a victim of physical and mental abuse by my family. I feel that if we talk, we feel a lot relaxed and most of our tensions ebb out. I also hope you will be able to listen to me and help me come out of what I am going thru. Regards Shine shines.domain@gmail.com
Hi Salome! Its great to have a friend to talk about my problem. Its a little embarasing to do it to anyone who hasnt live through someting similar. Im quite desperately. My husband just left cause he found some emails in my computer where I talked to someone else about many sex issues including things i would like to perform. Beleive me that didnt meant I would like to have him as a lover. I love my husband, but as an abuse victim I find it so hard to have sexual relations with him. Everytime I try, a kind ok ghost appear and cant perform. I see sex as a dirty thing that cant be perform with someone I love so much. Its easy to hide behind a computer where theres no physical contact. My husband told me we wont come back, and I undersant. I know I have to heal all the wounds first in order to have him back (in possible). Thanks for ur time. Maria
I am Sharron from Derbyshire in England. My father abused me when I was about 5 years old. My mother's reaction when she discovered was to abuse me mentally and neglect me. At sixteen I was put the other side of the front door and told that they never wanted to see me again.
Hello! I am a 34 yr old female. It has been about 20 years since abuse ended but still very much struggling with the abuse on various levels. Dont know what else to do. Unemployed unable to seek professional help and not sure that i would if i could based on prior counseling experience not seeming to have helped.
