Hello Carrie Ann and thank you for sharing with us. I totally agree with you--healing is about treating ourselves and others lovingly in the here and now, as we can never change what we have experienced in the past.

@BorderlineNOS So true, sometimes healing means to put it out there, although my kids have no clue about my past, and there too young to know, I think I will leave that on a need to know basics.

@awesomeastrid Thank you, It can be hard, but I chose not to talk about my past with my kids, so not to worry them, since this was made I had another son. Anyway its been a challenge as they grow and age, things come up, but as they do I talk with my husband and health prof. (T) and work thru it as need be, I am no longer in weekly T just on a need to be basis's.

Oh Thank you! I love Bon Jovi myself. Anyway I agree with you. There has been many times I have just walked up to someone and told them "Hey do you need a break, I would be happy to watch the child for a bit" I find that screaming or telling a parent there way of handling parenting, just makes the issue worse for both the parent and kid. Offering help can be very helpful.

What a cute boy. Teach him respect of women above all things. Don't burden him with the knowledge of your sexually abused past, because even against his will, it can harm his normal development. You can let him know about the physical and mental abuse. But he needs to be a fully developed well adjusted man before he could handle that information. I was abused also like so many, but I choose not to forgive. I try instead to understand. Still I know I am a different person from anger.

[AJBR1980]

Of Course, I agree with you all the way. He will not know much about my childhood, I know that sometimes teaching a child thats not mentally,or physiology ready, will become angry, and may have an unneeded fear.

Well, I beleave Understanding is the first step to forgivingness in any thing in life. To understand why is the key to forgiving or at least in my thinking they go hand and hand.

Hard to forgive something you do not understand.

You know, that video was incredible to say the least and not just because I love Bon Jovi music either here! lol I don't like abuse of a woman or a child of any form and all I have to say is the people that did that to you were not very cool at all and I know you have to forgive them but you can't forget what was done. I've never been abused in my life but if I seen that, they wouldn't have liked what I had to say to them but I am very glad you are safe and happy, darling!
