• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Howdy,
Today I found out from a Facebook post by my older sister that I was sexually abused and physically abused when I was back home in a Nunavut community which was NWT at the time. It happened when I was 4 3/4 to about 6 years old.
What a way to learn about it. And out where everyone can see it. Thanks big sister. I'm sorry I'm angry, hurt and bewildered.
At the time I was put into a home that was not my family. My father found out and told my sister and also said that I was riddled with VD.
I was a hermit and I am not situated in a church. I have one close friend but she has a family and I have not talked to anyone about it.
I do not remember the sexual abuse nor the physical abuse. I don't even remember not living at home at the time.
I used to be so angry at God and I did hate God at one time, but I am close to him but right now I feel abandoned again. Please pray for me.
Thanks.

I'm sorry you had to find out something so horrible through Facebook. I really don't think your sister should have told you that.

I completely understand that abandoned feeling. It's a terrible feeling, but we have to remember that He promised He would never forsake us.

I'll be praying for you tonight.
