You just described my childhood. The verbal abuse was just as damaging and damning as the physical and sexual.
What didn’t damage my body, wrecked my soul, my spirit and my sanity. Guess you would call it a multipronged assault.
Today, everything I have and everything I’ve gained, every shred of sanity, every bit of spirit, every accomplishment, every micron of self worth I’ve struggled to build against the constant litany of words that still repeat in my head like a broken record.
And you know what, I still have moments when I don’t think I have the right to breath air.
Again,
Baldwin is hurting his child.
I hear you. God bless you always. You are His child, only rented to them. They failed, not you. But God will never fail you. Many of us undergo awful experiences before we surrender to God. He wants us to come to Him.
