You told your story with grace. I honour you for your strength in finding a way through, for your courage in breaking free of a harmful relationship with your husband, and in telling your story here.

What was done to you as a child breaks my heart. No child deserves to experience that.
But I can’t help but marvel at how amazing you have grown up to be. It might have taken a lot of time and a tremendous amount of effort and pain to reach, but you have become someone so amazing. Being so understanding and compassionate with the girl who did this, it takes someone so great to be able to say that.
You are amazing! Never forget that.

Wow, this is truly a worthwhile story to tell. In spite of everything that happened to you, you made it to the other side. I applaud you for that. You will be an inspiration to many that have walked in your shoes and those that haven’t.

I identify with so much of what you’ve said here… feeling not enough… like all I seem to do is cause pain… I’ve gotten better over the past year, but am amazed at how much further along you are then I am. I look forward to a day when I truly believe people are capable of loving me for who I am. Some days it seems like such a long road… thank you for showing me a little further down the path. You’ve come a long way, you are strong, you are worthy of love and I am honored to know you through your story here. Thank you so much for sharing it. Best wishes for peace and love from here on out.

I don’t always come visit this site, as it can be quite harrowing since I have a story to tell that I don’t quite want to deal with, and I don’t always have it in me to read the other stories, but something told me to stop by here tonight. I wish I could give you a big warm hug and some of my homemade macaroni and cheese. I am so glad you are finding ways to heal, and that this is one of the things that you can do for yourself to improve things in your life. It is terrible to be robbed of your innocence and I am so saddened that this happened to you, and that you punished yourself in all these ways and for all this time. I hope your healing continues in every way, on every level, especially learning to love yourself, because you do indeed deserve that love. Bless you, honey.

My heart breaks for you. Hopefully, you’re beginning to understand that you are enough, that you deserve to be able to heal.

Hugs.

Thank you so much for your story. As I was reading, I started to wonder if you were a childhood friend of mine, though in all honesty, I doubt you were. Your story could be my own. Thank you for being brave enough to share it and I am so glad you are finding healing.

I don’t know how to express how grateful I am for the comments you have been leaving here. I’ll admit that when Maggie told me my story would be going up on Monday, I nearly had a panic attack, even though I wanted it.

Go figure.

Reading your comments, feeling the support, seeing that my story is helping others just as so many other people’s stories here helped me: it’s moving me further along the path of healing. I wasn’t able to tell some of my friends who don’t read here regularly or my boyfriend that my story was going up until I started reading the comments. Now they know. The love and support keeps rolling in.

So thank you, thank you, thank you. And may God bless you all and grant you healing as well.

Thank you so much for sharing your pain and your survival. It is so important for those reading who may not be able to put words to theirs quite yet.

Dear heart of mine,
Oh, that I would have been strong enough to share your burdens when it would have helped! I’m glad to know it’s not too late, never too late to be honest friends, and I’m only always a phone call or email away.
Love always…
