One may forgive but it is hard to forget.

With all I went through with my father and step-father, after I married I ALWAYS included them in the family hollidays etc.

But when my step-father would say things that hurt me, it would bring those memories back to the surface.

true, God did not say that we have to forget, but if we dwell on it it only festers, we can let go and refuse to give it energy. The evil one always wants to stir things up and it never leads to anything good. If people really understood the consequences they wouldn’t do them. But some people refuse to get it. It is really true, forgive them for they know not what they do. Sad but true.

I got to say that this child trauma and memories that haunt us is very similar to the PTSD that I see in many vets. In fact it is the same.

I have seen healing of PTSD in a very dramatic way and it is not thru meds or therapy, if you know what I mean. It is a spirit that enters the person that torments them. I had the same thing happen when I was 5. Didn't realize where my anger and rage came from until I was 55.

I went to a seminar called Cleansing Streams which had to deal with strongholds in our live that we couldn't shake. I asked God where this anger came from and He showed me that it came into me while I was being punished excessively. Realizing my father wouldn't stop I decided to hate him. That nite I literally saw a spirit in the room hovering in the corner. I then realized that this is when that spirit entered me because I had cursed my father in my mind. Well suddenly I had to pee, so I went into a remote restroom and when I went to wash my hands I looked in the mirror and saw rage in my eyes, weird, I wasn't angry. I then realized it was the spirit of anger that was pissed because God exposed him to me. I became angry at it and renounced it, told it that I hated it and it was not my friend and commanded it to leave. It did. Strange story but true.

So what I am saying is that we are more than physical creatures, we are spiritual too. So the cure for some of these haunting memories can only come from God cause some things we can not shake by just thinking them through.
