Day 24: Thankful to be a SURVIVOR

I am  a SURVIVOR. I found out at the age of 28 (after being married and having 2 children of my own) that MY FATHER had MOLESTED me when I was younger (MY MIND) blocked it out. Then just within the past few years, I realized that he not only had molested me but he had been ANALLY RAPING me. MY MOM's family tried to shield me because as you said I was the victim but if it were to ever have gotten out, it might have been made into something different. No things like this were not discussed back then, FAMILY SECRETS were just that and were not spoken about. I also have had a rough time of INTIMACY with my husband (now if 14 years) but after he heard and realized what went on in my childhood, he understood and has been so kind and gentle with me. I hate that this still goes on and is still happening everyday, YET, the only thing I know to do is to put it in GOD's hands and to pray. So I will pray for you if you pray for me. And we will keep informing everyone the importance of NOT KEEPING SECRETS such as these. Whether it be one or two that we may touch with our words. I PRAY GOD BLESSES us both no matter where we may go.
