I'm just after honest answers by people who have worked through these issues.
No religious debate sought. Mods PLEASE KILL THIS THREAD if it turns into that. Or move it elsehwere.
My personal issues involve sexual abuse (by another child), and physical abuse related to making mistakes while practicing a musical instrument.
I find it more difficult to pray, the more I drag these memories out into the open to deal with them.

I changed paths completely. That's how I solved the problem. Considering the Church supported and was complicit with my perpetrator--it was the sensible thing to do.
I have a strong committment to a spiritual path, but I don't believe in an external all powerful God.
