I'm sorry for your experiences and how negative and hurtful they have been to you. You have legitimate questions, imo.

I can't reply here directly about your questions about God, but they are common ones and quite understandable (that one would question about it!!!)

Perhaps once the SOUL FOOD forum is created, you can read there about how healing and God and all that is involved when harmed.

I do think it's important to not blame God for what evil people do. Whether you believe in "God" or not ... it's important to have a higher power, imo, and not to lower that higher power as though with human traits and errors.

I hope you find someone, something stronger than you to believe in and feel safe with.

Yes, saying your parents are dead to you is acceptable at this point. If they are the cause of your abuse, then they never really were good parents, were they? They didn't protect you as parents are responsible to do.

Work with your therapist as to how to work through this... though it may never come to confronting them and having a good outcome.
