Behind Closed Doors pt1

RJ0114 December 23rd, 2014

Hi, I'm RJ. I'm 24 yr old female, have a Bachelors in nursing. I am still kind of a new member, judging by my member level lol. Um, I am trying to be braver in sharing things in safe places. I don't really know if I can share much more than just generals at the moment, sorry. I will update this same thread as I share more about my life. The reason I titled this 'Behind Closed Doors' is because my father was this perfect Christian, great guy, best dad, etc in public. People never knew anything was wrong. At home, though, he was completely different. I wasn't treated like his child, or any child, for that matter. I was neglected, as well as emotionally/mentally/ verbally, physically, and sexually abused. My mother left when i was about 6, left me with him. She ran off with her boss, from what I've been able to gather and piece together. Anyway... thanks for reading, sorry it's so short and general.

Hey, my dad was a PASTOR. My mom knew and did nothing. I've been there and taken years to heal. It really helps to talk about. But go at your own pace. You CAN do this! Good luck, I'm rooting for you!

You're a very courageous person. I'm sorry you went through this, my friend.
