Hi benj1 – I’m sorry about what you experienced as a child. Not wanting to tell anyone about it is completely understandable, but I get the sense that carrying these feelings all these years has been a painful burden for you. If you think you’re ready to begin working through this, I know of a book that might help – it’s called The Wounded Heart, by Dan Allender. He was a guest on a radio broadcast earlier this week – you can listen online by searching for “God’s Hope for Wounded Hearts” on the Focus on the Family website. I know from having worked with this organization that they have counselors who will talk with you for free over the phone (855-771-4357) – could be someplace to start. I hope you’ll be encouraged to know that you’re not alone in what you’ve been through. Praying for you…
