Is is a horrible thing to do to a child and I am saddened to the depths of my humanity by your experience. I don't expect my thoughts to matter to you. I haven't earned that right.
I responded to a post that said all, that's all, as in 100%, as in every single one, of gay men had been molested as a child. I said I didn't believe that and I let it drop at that.
I read post #43 by little jeremiah as you suggested. I can believe that Post #43 could be true, but it doesn't say all gay men were molested as a child; it says 80%. I don't ask that my belief matter to you. It's hard to express emotion in text, but please know that I say that with humility and not in any cocky sense.
I would, however, like you to know that you and your experience matter to me as a fellow human being. Although I can never understand your pain, I've experienced no small amount of pain today from your disclosure. I don't believe anyone ever heals from the experience of molestation, but I wish you all of the continued healing that is possible.
Now all I want to do is to hold my children and tell them I love them.
I’m sorry I was snappish!!! I tend to get that way once in awhile, no excuse though. You can heal from that kind of abuse but, you can’t do it without the help of the Holy Spirit and forgiving the person who did it. I’ve done both. It took years to come to this place though. Even until my mid-30’s I blamed myself for not stopping it. Even though I was only 4, I just couldn’t get past that thought.
