These are just my thoughts. I've not come in this forum for months. Religious talk is very triggering for me due to me feeling abused by my religious leader. At the age of 11 I came to by religous leader for help. I told him how I was being abused at home and I wanted him to help me. What I got in return was how I was to do as my parents told me and bible verses about how I should obey my parents. So my religious leader sends me home to be sexually/ physically and emotional abused for several more years. For years I've not been able to even talk about this. This was a spiritual abuse of my being. This is something I've even had to really try and deal with in therapy. I have a wonderful T that's treaded lightly on this subject with me. It will take many more years I think for me to be spiritually well.

I just wanted people to know that the rules and guildlines we have here at PC are for a reason. The rules aren't made to hurt anyone. But they are here to also protect people like myself who need the extra support of the rules so that we can heal in our own time.

Thank You for hearing me out.
