hope?

I know that usually I just get on here to gripe but I want all of you to know how much seeing your posts helps me. I read and realize that there are others like me who are saddened by their mistreatment and the mistreatment of others at the hands of "righteous" people.The fact that I can be anonymous lets me air all of this and not feel condemned. I hope that some day I can (here I am going to use a word that usually causes me to cringe) "minister" to hurting people-- like you have to me.

thats exactly what i said when i found this place. i know this sounds crazy but i dont give the people i know personally this website cause i think of it as my own little haven to hide and just be me. this is my boundary and it belongs to me so i dont want any of them to intrude. i also find healing in others posts cause it lets me know i am not alone. thanks for sharing!!
in his grace

I feel that too. The anonymity is so helpful, and to hear that other people have gone through the same things and felt the same way is really boosting my confidence. I feel so much stronger because when I hear someone else talk about what's happened to them, well, that's easy to sort out. I quickly come to their defense which helps me see I need to come to my own defense. If other people are being hurt this way, and I can see that it's wrong when it happens to them then I have to admit that it was wrong when it happened to me. I like to think I'm the strongest person in the room, so if someone hurts me it's my fault for not being stronger, smarter, more spiritual, more patient. It's hard for me to say someone got the better of me. I couldn't make enough of a difference to help them not abuse themselves, or others, or me. Those are all really hard things for me to see and say, but being here is making it easier because I'm not alone. I'm not the only one.
