We have all come so far since the beginning of our journey to recovery. Pat yourself on the back for what you have accomplished and keep taking that next step forward. Small steps are perfectly ok. Pauses for rest and rejuvenation are great too.<br /><br />Once when I asked a friend why God did nothing to stop the incest in my childhood, that friend explained her view of God giving us free will. To her, and I can now accept this, God giving us free will means He allows us to do whatever we choose. For us to truly have free will, God can't step in every time that one of us does something that He doesn't like. If He stepped in and stopped us, it wouldn't be free will. I believe that God cries when a child is hurt or a good person dies. I am sure there are times when He wishes that He hadn't given us free will. <br /><br />I don't want this to become a religious comment for others who may agree or disagree. That isn't what my comment is about. It is just one person's opinion and offers me comfort when I still sometimes ask why did God do nothing to stop the abuse. Why did He allow it to happen? I hope it comforts you as it does me.Patricia Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114250171020836470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-27556706410911419962009-08-04T09:49:33.158-04:002009-08-04T09:49:33.158-04:00This world is filled up with fake people, fake emo...This world is filled up with fake people, fake emotions and fake promises...

I remember working so hard as though somehow I could speed up the process... get "better"...then nearly 20 years ago, after 20 years of treatment and therapy, a therapist cornered me with the simple fact that no matter how hard I "worked" at it, I'd never "get better." I was furious of course...but she was right in what she wanted me to see... I AM better. The abuse is long ago over, and everyday since then brings me more peace and healing. Life is precious.

Although I never represssed any of my memories (I was not that lucky), I also denied that something bad happened to me. Of course, I had been taught to lie about what happened and denail ran rampant in my entire family.<br /><br />Staying on a road to recover from abuse is very difficult--but worth it. What really changed everything for me was confronting my father--that was the most freeing thing I have ever done--and the most empowering.<br /><br />I wish you peace, happiness, and the change you seek.<br /><br />Take care, my friend--<br /><br />MelindaMelindahttp://blog.melindaville.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-55472939312233083642009-04-14T14:27:00.000-04:002009-04-14T14:27:00.000-04:00Tabby, so much appreciate what you said and your e...Tabby, so much appreciate what you said and your encouragement.

Sadly it is not something that happens over night, you will get there though stick with it. As hard as it may sound do not beat yourself up for other people's mistakes. God has a plan for us all, but we each have to find that out on our own. Hugs, I hope you have a better day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718995173309662787noreply@blogger.com
