Oh man, so many can relate to this. It just breaks my heart for us.

Thanks, Lori. I recieved about 8 unsubscribes yesterday maybe more because I also got a few new ones. Maybe a coincidence, maybe not. Even so felt like salt on wounds

No need to look at that, you’re doing healing work for yourself and a lot of people who need to know they’re not alone. Maybe the unsubscribes aren’t ready to heal themselves or are so busy being busy (a trauma response) to take the time for their own healing right now. Maybe it triggered some of them to relive their experience that they weren’t ready to do right now. That’s on them not on you. The right people will be drawn to you the wrong ones for you will be drawn to who they’re meant to be drawn to. It all works out in the end.

Thanks so much, Lori. Fake accounts weeded out, my mentioned of religion who knows? It doesn't matter. Awareness needs to be known. My most difficult post yet and hurt the most.

Very powerful. Awful what some people do in the name of “God”. Have you heard this song? Reminds me of. It.

Thanks so much, Aaron. It saddens me the amount of the abuse under the name if God when he is really about love and acceptance. That song doesn't look familiar , I'll look it up

I watched a documentary on cults and my heart ached for those little girls, all of them really. It hit home though for me, sadly. Fear based religions, judgement.. no teaching of love just that
