Chatty is right. Men go after the meek, mild tempered kids, youngsters already suffering. Those men around my childhood home
knew I was abandoned. I was little and they were big. And so they
inflicted pain atop heartache; guess that made 'em feel more powerful than ever.

This I am grateful for. All of us who have shared here, can thank Dotsie for providing this forum, where we can empty out.
I find it so healing and such a release, just to empty out from time to time.

I remember Joyce Meyer saying she was doing a seminar in a foreign country; and she was talking about sex abuse. She said
women 70 years old and older were coming forward with tears
streaming down their faces. The auditorium was filled abused
women walking forward for prayer. This sex abuse thing is a
world wide issue!
