Spiritually Abused?

[Renzntzman]

Hi. I'm new here. Been reading about Spiritual Abuse and wonder if I'm a victim. I know that what happened to me haunts me to this day and I don't know how to get past it. I don't really have anyone I can talk to about it so I thought I would try this forum.

What's next? What do I need to do to get started. Thanks.

Hi Renz and welcome to the forum!
Just share your experience at a level that feels safe to you.
We'll read and comment and support you. Feedback is a very healing thing for me. I've been here forever and still post thoughts and needs. People here are WONDERFUL! Each person has a different angle on things and all work together to paint a picture and help me understand my initial post a little better.

So... thanks for the introduction. What happened? Are you ready and able to share? If it haunts you... I'd bargain that it was abuse.

Renz--welcome to the forum! I would read other threads here that look interesting to you, and see if you see anything in common with your situation. There are some very knowledgeable folks here, too, who I am sure can refer you to some readings about spiritual abuse will define it better for you. When you feel ready to tell a little of your story, feel free.

There's always someone on line. Be well and know God loves you!

Start talking when you are ready. Have a look around...
I have found people here are compassionate and respectful.
Take care...

Welcome Renzenman,

This forum is a lifeline for me.

It took me awhile to share. I have alot to share still. I was in the church of "No talk no telling or your going against God." :mad: :mad:

This has keep me back from sharing .

So share when you are ready.butterfly shirley

Dear Renzntzman,

All you need to get started is hit the post reply button at the bottom of the page and start telling your story. The rest sort of "happens" as people begin to give you feedback and encouragement. It sure did help to get my head screwed back on a little straighter. :rolleyes: If you're like me it feels odd to talk to people you don't know, but doesn't last long. The people here are easy to know and easy to love.

Hi Renzntzman,

Welcome! :)

Your handle reminds me a bit of German, lots of consonants.

The first couple of times you want to post, I'd copy the text before you hit "submit reply". Sometimes if you take too long to post you're thrown out and have to re-enter name and password. Do that in the middle then, not the upper right, or you get back to the main page. If you enter the info in the middle, the post usually gets posted...usually. If not you can just paste the post in again (if you copied it). I hope this doesn't sound confusing.
