Ty for opening up this topic and thread. For all of us here who have been abused by religious fingures this thread means a lot.

Your words today really touched me. I had gone to the leader of my church as a child around 11yrs old and asked for help because I stated I was being abused at home. The reaction I got was to go home and do as I was told and not say words against my family. We tell our children to trust these authority fingures. That they are here to help us. The complete loneliness you feel as a child when no one in the world is safe. Having to stop here.

This is just a really good thread and thank you for speaking about this emotional, spiritual, torture of our whole being.
